PocketApi

Rubygem for Pocket (getpocket.com) API, formerly ReadItLater.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'getpocket'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install getpocket

Usage

  1. Get an API Key from http://getpocket.com/developer/ and attain and access_token
  2. Setup PocketApi credentials with:
    PocketApi.configure(:client_key=> API_KEY, :access_token => ACCESS_TOKEN)
  3. Call API with corresponding API methods (retrieve, add, modify)
    PocketApi.retrieve({:state => "unread"})
    PocketApi.add("http://example.com", {:title => "Test add"})
    PocketApi.modify("archive", {:item_id => "123456"})

There's also some OAuth helper methods in PocketApi::Connection to generate Request Tokens, Authorize URLs, and Access Tokens. Here's a possible workflow:

  1. Generate Authorize URL for user to log in:
    PocketApi::Connection.client_key = API_KEY
    PocketApi::Connection.generate_authorize_url("https://myserver/authorize_callback", "https://myserver/denied_authorize")
  2. Once user returns, generate access token from previous request_token
    PocketApi::Connection.client_key = API_KEY
    PocketApi::Connection.generate_access_token
