pocket-retrieve-action

A GitHub action to retrieve articles via the Pocket API

This action requires a consumer key and an access token. You can get a consumer key by registering a new application. The access token can be obtained by following the documented auth flow or using a 3rd party app like mheap/pocket-auth-cli.

As always it is highly recommended to store them as secrets.

Inputs

`consumerKey`

Required The consumer key from Pockets developer portal.

`accessToken`

Required The access token retrieved upon authorization.

`fileName`

The output filename for the retrieved articles. Default: 'articles.json'

Example usage

uses: olithissen/pocket-retrieve-action@v1
with:
  consumerKey: ${{ secrets.CONSUMER_KEY }}
  accessToken: ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }}
  fileName: articles.json

A word on filtering

If you are familiar with Pocket's API you might notice that this action is missing all the filters like state, tag, favorite and so on. While some might be added in a future version it felt like clogging up the input section of this action. It is recommended to add a post-processing step to do filtering, sorting and mapping.
