Export Your Delicious Inbox with a Ruby Script

Posted on Sunday, December 19 to ruby delicious | comments | » tweet this «

Delicious does not provide any official means to export your inbox items. But for many users, the inbox is a critical archive of personal data. With the future of Delicious in peril, I’ve written this Ruby script which scrapes your inbox and produces a standard bookmarks export file.

Using this export requires Ruby, rubygems, the hpricot gem, and a little bit of manual effort to get your Delicious cookies - but it’s all easy, and a good start for further improvements. Feel free to fork the code, suggest or submit improvements, and generally make this more robust and user-friendly.
