Is it possible for Alfred to search in raindrop.io?

[pizzapizza]

Or should it be a feature of raindrop.io?

Right now I'm migrating all of my bookmarks from safari to raindrop.io, it's a great app. But the only thing I'm missing is that I used to launch bookmark pages directly from alfred search. Is it possible for alfred to search all the bookmarks&tags in raindrop.io the same way it does to safari bookmarks?

It should be possible, since they have an API. But you need to make a Workflow to communicate with said API.

Anyone attempt this yet?  They also have a MAC client.  I would assume that there should be a local database file that could be used.  Anyone figure out which one to use yet?

Welcome @tylast,

 

Reading a local database is likely to be more error-prone than using the API, because it will be undocumented, may cause corruption if you’re writing to it, and may require chasing a changing format.

Coincidentally, someone posted something after your request, though it’s essentially a web search.

Interesting. What do you mean that the workflow is a websearch?

That comment is over two years old. It no longer applies, the Workflow has had 20 releases since then.
