Pinboard Tools

Yet another script to search Pinboard. It uses the web search, instead of a local cache, so it's not quite as fast, but it is always up to date. It only runs the search for query lengths of 4 or more to try to be more efficient.

 

Use "pins set {username}" to set your username, and "pins {query}" to search for bookmarks. 

 

Because it doesn't store any login information or cookies, it only searches your public bookmarks. 

 

It works fine for me, but let me know if you run into any issues.

 

Edit: 2013-03-21 - Included BeautifulSoup, should work for people who don't have it installed on their machines.

Doesn't seem to work for me. If a Pinboard Search item is selected, the Return key does nothing. Doesn't even dismiss Alfred, it just sits there ready for me to type some more.

So it returns some results, but doesn't let you act on them?

No, sorry. I get the default "Pinboard Search (Searches Pinboard's website)" item, so it's recognizing the workflow, but no results or anything else.

Same here

Assuming that you're using the system python (I didn't see one rolled into Alfred), I think the problem is that BeautifulSoup isn't installed. After running "sudo pip install BeautifulSoup", it works.

 

I'd suggest bundling BS with your workflow.

Good catch, I'll throw it in.
