[Pocket](https://getpocket.com/), previously known as Read It Later, is an application and service for managing a reading list of articles from the Internet. The application allows the user to save an article or web page to the cloud for later reading. The article is then sent to the user's Pocket list (synced to all of their devices) for offline reading. Pocket removes clutter from articles and allows the user to adjust text settings for easier reading [Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_%28application%29).[Calibre](http://calibre-ebook.com/) is a free and open source e-book library management application developed by users of e-books for users of e-books. The programs also allows users to create own e-books and syncing with a variaty of e-book readers (e.g. Kindle, that's how I got the screenshots below) [Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibre_%28software%29). Calibre has a plugin management system and ..

If you have no idea where to start, take a look here this is an explantion how to use Calibre to send news to your Kindle.
This is a fork of the original plugin and a merge of a fix by [@dlo9](https://github.com/dlo9).
I modified the plugin to get an e-book including:
* the Untagged (more or less as the original version of the plugin)
* your content organized by Pocket tags!
* or, alternatively, your articles organized by the first level domain of the URL.Now, you get **Untagged** and **The Sections created based on you Pocket tags**:
Or sections based on **domains** of URsL (great contribution from [@alvaroreig](https://github.com/alvaroreig)):
This is a fork of the original 2011 Calibre ReadItLater plugin.
# Sections by domain
If you want to use the sections by domain functionality, you have to
* active the SECTIONS_BY_DOMAIN flag
* uncomment the tld import. For more details, check https://github.com/mmagnus/Pocket-Plus-Calibre-Plugin/pull/31# Settings
To change settings, click on:
Fetch news -> Add custom news source -> Pocket (Edit this recipe)
and edit the Python code.
![](doc/settings.png)
**TAGS** (list of strings or empty list: []) if [] (empty list) then the plugin will connect Pocket and fetch articles based on the configuration of the plugin.
Next, the plugin will get tags of these articles and group them into sections in the final ebook.
If TAGS has elements, e.g., TAGS = ['tag1', 'tag2'] then only these tags will be fetched from Pocket.**TAGS_EXCEPTIONS** (list of strings or empty list: []) if [] (empty list) then the plugin will ignore it.
If TAGS_EXCEPTIONS has elements, e.g., TAGS_EXCEPTIONS = ['tag3', 'tag4'] then the articles tagged with this tags will be ignored.
That is, tag3 and tag4 won't appear as sections, and it's articles won't appear in the "Untagged" section.
This variable is meant to be used with TAGS = [], as it doesnβt make any sense to specify a tag both in TAGS and in TAGS_EXCEPTIONS.**SECTIONS_BY_DOMAIN** If activated, the articles will be grouped by first level domain. This will override any
tag configuration (that is: TAGS, TAGS_EXCEPTIONS, INCLUDE_UNTAGGED). This is because the recipe ignores duplicated
articles, and therefore an article can't appear under a "real" (pocket) tag and under the fake tag with its domain.**SECTIONS_BY_DOMAIN_USING_TLD** you can install TLD and use it to get domains, but this requires installed library in
a way that Calibre will see it (I had a huge problem to get this running @mmagnus), so there is a new
way to get domain based on parsing URL, less sophisticated but more reliable (in my opinion @mmagnus)**INCLUDE_UNTAGGED** (True or False) if True then put all fetched and untagged articles in the last section 'Untagged'.
If False then skip these articles and don't create the section 'Untagged'. Bear in mind that if TAGS is populated ( e.g. TAGS = ['tag1', 'tag2']),
INCLUDE_UNTAGED = True and other tags exist in Pokcet (e.g. tag3,tag4) then the Untagged section will include untagged articles
in Pocket AND articles tagged with tag3 and tag4. That behavior can be avoided using TAGS_EXCEPTION**ARCHIVE_DOWNLOADED** (True or False) do you want to archive articles after fetching
**MAX_ARTICLES_PER_FEED** (number) how many articles do you want to fetch for FEED (FEED could be also
considered as TAG, so for each TAG you this value will be applied.**SORT_METHOD** ('oldest' or 'newest') way how the articles are sorted
**OLDEST_ARTICLE** (number) fetch articles added (modified) in Pocket for number of days, 7 will give you articles added/modified in Pocket for the last week
**TO_PULL** ('all' or 'unread') What articles to pull? unread only or all?**TITLE_WITH_TAGS** (True or False) if True will the ebook filename will be like
Pocket: INVEST P2P [Sun, 05 Jan 2020] for many tags this might be to long, if you make a single tag ebook this might be super fun!**ALLOW_DUPLICATES** (True or False) if True articles that have multiple tags matching those defined in TAGS are duplicated in each matched tag
Eg.: TAGS = ['tag1','tag2'] then article1 that has both tags will appear in both sections tag1 and tag2.# Installation

1. Don't forget that you can have multiple modified recipes and schedule each of them independently.
![](doc/more.png)
2. You can also take a look here if you want someone else to send your articles for you, so you don't have to have access to your computer. Both services were tested by me and they can be recommended!

# Troubleshooting
## FileNotFoundError: "custom_recipes/Pocket.js"I think this is a problem if you haven't granted access (happen to @mmagnus, when I run the bash script on a new machine). Go to Installation and grant access to your Pocket.
