Sync-diigo-to-folder NPM

Sync all your Diigo bookmarks to a directory as Markdown files. Intended for use with Obsidian.

Install

npm i -g sync-diigo-to-folder

Use

sync-diigo-to-folder --path=/Users/tehshrike/Obsidian/Bookmarks --all --user=DIIGO_USERNAME --password=DIIGO_PASSWORD --apiKey=DIIGO_API_KEY

This script is meant to be idempotent, so that you can re-run it over and over without losing any data other than what originally came from Diigo.

By default it only reads the most recently-updated batch of bookmarks.

Arguments

path: the directory to write output files to
all: (default off) – whether to save the most recently-updated bookmarks, or only one request's worth
countPerRequest: (default 20) – How many bookmarks to fetch per API request. Max 100.
user: your Diigo username
password: your Diigo password
apiKey: your Diigo API key
datePrefix: a string to prefix the [[YYYY-MM-DD]] date links with (e.g. Day/)

Output

Right now the output for a bookmark of a site like https://danluu.com/corp-eng-blogs/ looks like:

# How (some) good corporate engineering blogs are written

- tags: #writing #marketing #blogging
- url: https://danluu.com/corp-eng-blogs/
- cached: [On Diigo](https://www.diigo.com/cached?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdanluu.com%2Fcorp-eng-blogs%2F)
- created: [[2020-07-13]]

---

the intention is that you can put your own notes below the --- separator as desired. Any changes above the separator will be overwritten by changes to your bookmark in Diigo.

If you typed a description into Diigo, that description will be placed below the --- separator on first write. Updated descriptions will not be written to a pre-existing file.
