pocket-octopress for parsing pocket links to posts

Pocket API Parser for Octopress Blogs based on pocket-ruby gem

To add a functionality for Pocket Link posting in Octopress Blogs I used the pocket-ruby Gem. I have modified the Gem- and Rakefile to add a task for generating Pocket linklists from my personal Pocket links.

More information and Infos here

Usage

rake new_pocket['DAYS']

For DAYS set the number of days from now in the past. For my personal blog I use 7 days to get 1 Week of Pocket links.

Installation

Add the following changes to your Octopress Gemfile

Create a pocket app at http://getpocket.com/developer/apps/

Change yourconsumerkey in generate_token.rb to your consumer key from the created Pocket app.

Generate an access token

generatetoken.rb to generate an accesstoken. In Terminal you should run the script with ruby generate_token.rb. It starts a webserver session on localhost:4567. Access it on your browser and connect with pocket. Then you will recieve your access_token.

require "rubygems"
require "sinatra"
require "pocket"

enable :sessions

CALLBACK_URL = "http://localhost:4567/oauth/callback"

Pocket.configure do |config|
  config.consumer_key = 'yourconsumerkey'
end

get '/reset' do
  puts "GET /reset"
  session.clear
  redirect "/"
end

get "/" do
  puts "GET /"
  puts "session: #{session}"

  if session[:access_token]
    'Access token: ' + session[:access_token] +
    '<br /><a href="/reset">Reset session</a>'
  else
    '<a href="/oauth/connect">Connect with Pocket</a>'
  end
end

get "/oauth/connect" do
  puts "OAUTH CONNECT"
  session[:code] = Pocket.get_code(:redirect_uri => CALLBACK_URL)
  new_url = Pocket.authorize_url(:code => session[:code], :redirect_uri => CALLBACK_URL)
  puts "new_url: #{new_url}"
  puts "session: #{session}"
  redirect new_url
end

get "/oauth/callback" do
  puts "OAUTH CALLBACK"
  puts "request.url: #{request.url}"
  puts "request.body: #{request.body.read}"
  access_token = Pocket.get_access_token(session[:code], :redirect_uri => CALLBACK_URL)
  session[:access_token] = access_token
  puts "#{access_token}"
  puts "session: #{session}"
  redirect "/"
end

Change your Rakefile with the following diff. Make sure you enter your correct consumer key and access token recieved from generate_token.rb.
