Instapaper's bookmark API

Operations

List

svc := instapaper.BookmarkServiceOp{
			Client: apiClient,
		}
		bookmarkList, err := svc.List(instapaper.BookmarkListRequestParams{
			Limit: 5,
		})

This returns a BookmarkListResponse instance:

type BookmarkListResponse struct {
	Bookmarks   []Bookmark
	Highlights  []Highlight
	RawResponse string
}

The RawResponse field contanins the unmodified response from Instapaper in case you want to decode it yourself or debug what's happening. You can use a BookmarkListRequestParams instance to define what you want returned:

type BookmarkListRequestParams struct {
	Limit           int
	Skip            []Bookmark
	CustomHaveParam string
	Folder          string
}

Limit is the maximum number of bookmarks the API should return - the maximum is 500.

You can optionally pass a slice of bookmarks for Skip so the response won't contain them. Instapaper has a more intricate way of filtering out bookmarks, so you can pass your custom filtering string with CustomHaveParam - if this field is not empty, Skip will not be passed in the API call.

Finally, you can get bookmarks from a specific folder by filling out the Folder parameter.

There's also a default set of parameters defined: DefaultBookmarkListRequestParams - this does no filtering and maxes out the number of returned items to 500.
