A Guide to Backing Up Pinboard

Marcelo Somers:

So with so much dependency on all this, I knew I needed to save this stuff. If Pinboard disappeared tomorrow, I need a way to access this stuff I’m saving. Maciej Ceglowski, developer of Pinboard, gives you the option at any time to export all your items as HTML, XML, or JSON. Data portability is good. However, there’s no automated option to do this.So I came up with a way to automate everything. This is an idiot’s guide to do it, since I’m by no means a pro at this stuff – I just poke around until I can make it work.
