Mastodon Bookmarks Archive
A small Janet script to archive all your Mastodon bookmarks in Markdown files.
Because Mastodon posts can disappear for a variety of reasons (deletion, defederation, server instance shutdown, ...), it is safer to archive your bookmarks.
Each Markdown file will contain:
- A link to the original post
- The author's handle
- The post's content in HTML
- The media attachments locally downloaded
- If available, the alt text for each media
Most of these values will be in the form of key:: value for easy integration with Obsidian's plugin Dataview. A sample script is available here
Setup & Run
- Get an access token for your Mastodon account
- Run the program
$ ./mastodon-bookmarks YOUR_INSTANCE YOUR_APP_TOKEN
The YOUR_INSTANCE value must not have the trailing slash (e.g: https://hachyderm.io)
Development
- Clone this repository
- Install Janet and jpm https://janet-lang.org/
jpm deps --local
$ janet main.janet YOUR_INSTANCE YOUR_APP_TOKEN
Build binary
$ jpm build
