PyPocket is a Python wrapper for GetPocket (https://getpocket.com). 

The Export option in Pocket will generate a dry html file containing only the saved article links. 

PyPocket library will generate a more sophisticated HTML report with given tags, the article title, time added. 

You can specify the number of articles you want to retrieve too (particularly useful if you have a large collection of saved articles).

More functionalies are under development like the ability to filter and export by tag(s), additional metadata, *etc*. 

Check the development roadmap for this project [here](https://github.com/e-alizadeh/PyPocket/projects/1). Feel free to request a new feature!

## Installation

```bash

pip install pypocket

```

## Library Requirements

- requests (`pip install requests`)

- dominate (`pip install dominate`)

---

## Prerequisite: Obtain Your Consumer Key & Access Token

In order to use PyPocket, you will need consumer_key and access_token for your Pocket. 

For the consumer_key, you can follow Step 1 of [Pocket Authentication API Documentation](https://getpocket.com/developer/docs/authentication)

to obtain your consumer_key. 

For obtaining your access_token, you can either follow the pocket documentation (above link) to get your access_token,

or use the `Auth` class available in this library for your convenience as below. 

```python

from pypocket.auth import Auth

auth = Auth(consumer_key="your_consumer_key")

# The following will automatically obtain a request_token and ask you to authorize it. 

auth.authorize_request_token_browser() 

```

The `auth.authorize_request_token_browser()` will open a webpage to getpocket.com website asking  you to authorize the token. 

Once, you authorize it. Then you can get your access token by running the following:

```python

access_token = auth.get_access_token() 

```

---

## Usage

```python

from pypocket import Pocket

p =  Pocket(

    consumer_key="your_consumer_key", 

    access_token="your_token", 

    html_filename="report"

)

p.to_html(num_post=10)

```

## New features in the pipeline

- Retrieve pocket contents according to given tags

- Modify the pocket contents properties
