bookmarket

Bookmarket is a tiny project written completely in python to self host a bookmark manager that's browser and device agnostic. The Bookmarket class manages the interactions with a TinyDB database to store your bookmarks, you can interact with the database through telegram with the already implemented bot or write your own communication system.

Each bookmark is internally represented by a Record object with the attributes url, title, info, timestamp.

The Bookmarket features are:

• it (should) be thread-safe
• it allows you to add, update, remove and search your bookmarks.
• on add the site is scraped and a title and description is automatically added if found
• you can search timewise, by Query (see TinyDB queries) or by fragment of a Record

In its current state the telegram bot allows you to add and delete bookmarks by link and to search by keywords or time. Simply share a link and the bot will prompt you a confirmation checkbox.

Commands: (each value in the square bracket is equivalent)
Search by keywords: [search, s, a] <keywords>
Search by time with: [seachtime, st, at] <time>
note: the time is parsed using the `timestring` python library which neatly parses "informal"
timestamps (e.g. 'searchtime since last week' works just fine)
Delete a url with `[delete, d] url`

Setup

An informal list of requirements can be found in requirements.txt.

To install and serve through telegram first create a new bot using @BotFather then clone and run with:

git clone git@github.com:JunkyByte/bookmarket.git
cd bookmarket
python bookmarket/telegram_bot.py

It will create a key file where you can paste your access token and chat_id, the bot is intended to be personally hosted, to prevent other people to access it we check that the chat_id is equal to the one of the user. Paste your chat_id on the second line of the bot.key file.
