specifically, comments and posts saved to your reddit user profile can be pulled into pinboard through this project. the following information is pulled down and used when pinning to pinboard:
- subreddit (becomes a tag)
- post title (becomes title)
- post description, if it exists (becomes description)
- post url (becomes url)
the tag "added-by-pynnit" is also added to each entry moved to pinboard in this way. This allows for easy viewing of all imported links. I found this very useful when I was writing the script in the first place, but you may not want it.
I use `pipenv` pretty exclusively because of how it works with my editor. that's the only package manager i've actually tested with, but theoretically the typical `pip install -r requirements.txt` should work just fine.
if you don't have MFA set up for your account (you should do that) then this is easy. everything works as expected. BUT if you DO have MFA set up let me tell you: this gets dumber. when you export your reddit password you have to also include an active MFA 6 digit code, like this:
This is slow. The API docs published by pinboard require that you only make a call once per 3 seconds, so if you're adding a lot of entries at once (say, during the intial move over) this can take a while, but its still fast enough for my purposes.
So, there are multiple kinds of reddit posts, and each kind of reddit post seems to have distinct names for the same things, which is REALLY fucking annoying. Its extra frustrating because there's not just a quick lookup for this, you have to just dig through Too Much json.
If you're using PRAW, a reddit /post/ has an attribute called `.is_self` that's boolean. If its true, its a text only post, if its false then its a link post.
