Google Bookmarks API Guide
created 10 December 2008 in links tagged api, bookmarks and google.
Google bookmarks doesn’t really have an API. Which is annoying. It doesn’t even seem to obey any of the many many Google authentication systems, so to use it I have to screen-scrape the login dialog.
However, it will serve all the bookmarks as a mozilla bookmarks html file, so I can write a script that pulls the bookmarks down to the local machine and puts them somewhere predicable, so I can use Launchbar to access them quickly. And I get a backup.
All in all, it’s not a bad solution to the ‘I want to put my bookmarks in the cloud’ problem I’ve been trying to solve recently.
