API and terminal-based CLI for Raindrop.io bookmark manager

|docs|

Raindrop-IO-py

Python wrapper for the API to the Raindrop.io Bookmark Manager as well as a simple command-line interface to perform common operations.

Background

I wanted to use an existing API for the Raindrop Bookmark Manager (python-raindropio) to perform some bulk operations through a simple command-line interface. However, the API available was incomplete and didn't contain any user-interface. Thus, this is a fork and significant extension of python-raindropio (ht Atsuo Ishimoto).

This package includes:

• An API providing access to the Raindrop environment. For instance: create, update, delete link/file-based Raindrops; create, update delete Raindrop collections, tags etc.
• A terminal-based user-interface that both tests the API as well as providing (me) a fast, simple interface to my Raindrop collections.

Status

As the API layer is based on a fork of an existing package, it's reasonably stable. However, the command-line interface (CLI) is brand new (and lacking tests, ie. "works for me!" ;-).

Requirements

Requires Python 3.10 or later (well, at least I'm developing against 3.10.9).

Install

[.venv] python -m pip install raindrop-io-py

Setup

To use this package, besides your own account on Raindrop, you'll need to create an integration app on the Raindrop.io site from which you can create API token(s).

• Go to https://app.draindrop.api/settings/integrations and select + create new app.

• Give it a descriptive name and then select the app you just created.

• Select Create test token and copy the token provided. Note that the basis for calling it a test token is that it only gives you access to bookmarks within your own account. Raindrop allows you to use their API against other people's environments using oAuth (see untested/unsupported flask_oauth.py file in /examples)

• Save your token into your environment (we use python-dotenv so a simple .env/.envrc file containing your token should suffice), for example:

# If you use direnv or it's equivalent, place something like this in a .env file:
RAINDROP_TOKEN=01234567890-abcdefghf-aSample-API-Token-01234567890-abcdefghf

# Or for bash:
export RAINDROP_TOKEN=01234567890-abcdefghf-aSample-API-Token-01234567890-abcdefghf

# Or for fish:
set -gx RAINDROP_TOKEN 01234567890-abcdefghf-aSample-API-Token-01234567890-abcdefghf

# etc...

Examples

A full suite of examples are provided in the examples directory. Each can be run independently as:

[.venv] % python examples/list_collections.py

or a wrapper script is available to run all of them, in logical order with a small wait to be nice to Raindrop's API:

[.venv] % python examples/RUN_ALL.py

API Examples

Here are a few examples of API usage (all of these should be able to be executed "as-is"):

Display All Collections and Unsorted Bookmarks:

This example shows the intended usage of the API as a context-manager, from which any number of calls can be made:

import os

from dotenv import load_dotenv

from raindropiopy.api import API, Collection, CollectionRef, Raindrop

load_dotenv()

with API(os.environ["RAINDROP_TOKEN"]) as api:

    print("Current Collections:"
    for collection in Collection.get_collections(api):
        print(collection.title)

    print("\nUnsorted Raindrop Bookmarks:"
    for item in Raindrop.search(api, collection=CollectionRef.Unsorted):
        print(item.title)

Create a New Raindrop Bookmark to a URL

import os

from dotenv import load_dotenv

from raindropiopy.api import API, Raindrop

load_dotenv()

with API(os.environ["RAINDROP_TOKEN"]) as api:
    link, title = "https://www.python.org/", "Our Benevolent Dictator's Creation"
    print(f"Creating Raindrop to: '{link}' with title: '{title}'...", flush=True, end="")
    raindrop = Raindrop.create_link(api, link=link, title=title, tags=["abc", "def"])
    print(f"Done, id={raindrop.id}")

(after this has executed, go to your Raindrop.io environment (site or app) and you should see this Raindrop to python.org available)

Create a New Raindrop Collection

import os
import sys
from datetime import datetime
from getpass import getuser

from dotenv import load_dotenv

from raindropiopy.api import API, Collection

load_dotenv()

with API(os.environ["RAINDROP_TOKEN"]) as api:
    title = f"TEST Collection ({getuser()}@{datetime.now():%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S})"
    print(f"Creating collection: '{title}'...", flush=True, end="")
    collection = Collection.create(api, title=title)
    print(f"Done, {collection.id=}.")

(after this has executed, go to your Raindrop.io environment (site or app) and you should see this collection available)

Command-Line Interface Usage

[.venv] % raindropiopy

Note: remember to setup RAINDROP-TOKEN in your environment!

Release History

Unreleased

v0.1.4 - 2023-08-01

• SECURITY: Update certifi to address potential security vulnerability (CVE-2023-37920).

v0.1.3 - 2023-07-20

• SECURITY: Update pygments to 2.15.1 to address potential security vulnerability.
• CHANGED: Moved to py 3.11.3.

v0.1.2 - 2023-07-08

• FIXED: Per Issue #5, cache size may come back from Raindrop as 0 in some cases, relax pydantic type from PositiveInt to int (Didn't hear anything back from Rustem regarding the cases in which this can (or should?) occur).

v0.1.1 - 2023-06-06

• CHANGED: Raindrop.search now only takes a single search string (instead of word, tag or important), leaving search string blank results in correct wildcard search behaviour, addresses issue #4.

v0.1.0 - 2023-02-16

• CHANGED: Raindrop.create_file to handle collection argument consistent with Raindrop.create_link, specifically, either a Collection, CollectionRef or direct integer collection_id.
• ADDED: Beginning of documentation suite on Read-The-Docs.

v0.0.15 - 2023-02-11

• CHANGED: Raindrop.search_paged is now hidden (can't see a reason to explicitly use it over Raindrop.search)
• CHANGED: Several attributes that, while allowed to be set by RaindropIO's API, are now not able to be set by this API. For example, you shouldn't be able to change "time" by setting created or last_update fields on a Raindrop or Collection.
• CHANGED: The Collection, Raindrop and Tag "remove" method is now "delete" to more accurately match with RaindropIO's API).

v0.0.14 - 2023-02-09

• FIXED: Raindrop.cache.size and Raindrop.cache.created attributes are now optional (RaindropIO's API doesn't always provide them).
• FIXED: README examples corrected to reflect simpler Raindrop.search call.

v0.0.13 - 2023-02-07

• CHANGED: Cross-referenced the fields available from the Raindrop API with our API; most available but several optional ones skipped for now.
• CHANGED: (Internal) Remove dependency on "jashin" library by moving to pydantic for all Raindrop API models.

v0.0.12 - 2023-02-06

• CHANGED: (Internal) Move from README.org to README.md to allow PyPI to display project information correctly.

v0.0.11 - 2023-02-06

• CHANGED: Raindrop search API call is now non-paged (the "paged" version is still available as Raindrop.search_paged).

v0.0.10 - 2023-02-05

• ADDED: Ability to specify raindrop field: Description on a created Raindrop (either file or link-based).
• ADDED: Ability to re-query existing search results (eg. after changes) and smoothed out post-search interactions.

v0.0.9 - 2023-02-04

• ADDED: An ability to view, edit and delete raindrops returned from a search.
• ADDED: A simple RUN_ALL.py script to the examples directory to...well, run all the examples in order!
• CHANGED: The display of raindrops returned from a search to include tags and to only show Collection name if all raindrops are across multiple collections.

v0.0.8 - 2023-01-25

• CHANGED: Added simple version method in root package:

from raindropiopy import version
print(version())

v0.0.7 - 2023-01-25

• CHANGED: Moved from keeping README in markdown to org file format. Incorporated package's ChangeLog into README as well (at the bottom).
• CHANGED: Added new manage.py release automation capability (internal only, nothing public-facing).

v0.0.6 - 2023-01-22

• FIXED: CLI autocomplete now works again after adding support for "single-letter" command-shortcuts.
• ADDED: A set of missing attributes to the Raindrop API model type, eg. file, cache etc. Only attribute still missing is "highlights".

v0.0.5 - 2023-01-21

• ADDED: Support use of Vulture for dead-code analysis (not in pre-commit through due to conflict with ruff's McCabe complexity metric)
• CHANGED: Moved internal module name to match that of package name. Since we couldn't use raindroppy as a package name on PyPI due to similarities with existing packages (one of which was for a crypto package), we renamed this package to raindrop-io-py. In concert, the internal module is now raindropiopy:

from raindroiopy.api import API

• FIXED: Sample file upload specification in examples/create_raindrop_file.py is now correct.
