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

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.

sync-diigo-to-folder's Issues

Could this Become an Obsidian Plugin?

I've had hard time finding good support for web highlights in Obsidian. I'll try this out as it could be just right, but if it could become a plugin for Obsidian it would be that much easier? I'm fond of the one that pulls in Amazon book highlights for example.
