=====================

[](#intervention-pinboard)

[![Latest Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/98d292ca2cc033f4cf4f81640e23dfe293fe40774ed6b2ef9083a8cb1d87b106/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f762f696e74657276656e74696f6e2f70696e626f6172642e737667)](https://packagist.org/packages/intervention/pinboard)

This packages provides a local command line interface to interact with your link collection at [pinboard.in](https://pinboard.in/). The main reason behind this project is, to have a local mirror of all Pinboard links an a Sqlite database to be able to search the whole collection quickly with the command line.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The best way to install this package is globally with Composer.

Require the package via Composer:

```
$ composer global require intervention/pinboard

```

After installation you will have a new `pinboard` executable in `~/.composer/vendor/bin`. It is convenient to have this folder in your `$PATH`.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Next you have to configure your Pinboard credentials. To do so create `~/.pinboard` your home directory and put in your username and your access token.

```
PINBOARD_USERNAME=myusername
PINBOARD_TOKEN=mypinboardtoken

```

Now you can init the application, to create the internal sqlite database. This only needs to be done once during the initial setup.

```
$ pinboard init

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Search Bookmarks

[](#search-bookmarks)

```
$ pinboard search

```

Search your bookmarks with the following command. The first time you run this command, all your bookmarks will be loaded from your pinboard account and saved locally. This happens once if no data is available or if the time interval for a new update has expired.

### Add Bookmarks

[](#add-bookmarks)

```
$ pinboard add

```

Add a new bookmark to the collection, this will be saved both locally and in your account at pinboard.in. If the URL already exists, the bookmark will not be created again, but will be overwritten with the current data.

### See Status of Local Bookmark Database

[](#see-status-of-local-bookmark-database)

```
$ pinboard status

```

Show the status of the local database mirror of your Pinboard account.

### Load all Bookmarks from pinboard.in Account

[](#load-all-bookmarks-from-pinboardin-account)

```
$ pinboard pull

```

Normally this command does not need to be called manually. It is executed automatically when the local database exceeds an age specified by the config value `PINBOARD_UPDATE_EVERY` in your `.pinboard` file. The default is `12 hours`.
