Obsidian plugin to sync Pinboard.in links to Daily Notes

Overview

Obsidian Pinboard Sync

An Obsidian plugin that adds links you've saved with Pinboard to your Obsidian Daily Notes, synchronizing periodically.

Why?

I've been using Pinboard to store links to interesting websites from the web for years, and from iOS devices with the help of the wonderful app Pinner. I would like Obsidian to store these links as part of my Daily Notes to remind me to refer back to them, and also so that I can add some notes about each site.

Disclaimer 🚨

The initial sync will backfill your recent posts from Pinboard into Obsidian. This potentially means creating/modifying up to a hundred files. I recommend testing this plugin out in a new vault first to make sure you're happy with the result. You may not want Daily Notes with Pinboard links going that far back in time.

Usage

This plugin will fetches recent links posted to your Pinboard and dumps them into the Daily Note corresponding to the date the link was stored.

It also displays any tags associated to the links.

It will refetch the posts at a designated interval.

Settings

Setting Description
Token API token from your Pinbord account. Available in settings/password
Section Heading Controls where the links will be displayed within your daily notes. Defaults to ## Pinboard
Sync Frequency How often you want to fetch the posts from the Pinboard API
Tag Prefix You may prefix your Pinboard tags with a parent tag (e.g. #pinboard/work #pinboard/school)
Recent Posts Number of recent posts to use when syncing. Up to the last 100 posts can be retreived.

Limitations

This plugin currently only syncs the last xx posts, where xx <100. Why? I just switched over to using Obsidian from Roam, and I didn't want 1000 of Daily Notes that were only old Pinboard links.

This doesn't currently support "Pinboard Notes" because I never used those.

Gratitude 🙏

This plugin was made possible by the awesome work by liamcain and mrled. Thank you!

  • Tags with colons in them don't work in Obsidian

    Tags with colons in them don't work in Obsidian

    I had to change my writing:fiction tag to writing_fiction manually after importing pins with them, since they don't work in Obsidian Markdown. A regex replacement would suffice to make those work.

    I am also a passionate user of pinboard. wanted to integrate pinboard and obsidian

    Now

    • have correctly entered all the plugin settings and Api-key (which works fine with other apps)
    • a manual initiated sync via the command results in an error message
      • Screenshot of Obsidian
    • the scheduled sync presumably never happens

    I am I missing out on anything?

    first/initial sync failed on Mac - missing daily note location?

    my environment

    • using plugin version 1.02 -
    • Obsidian 0.15.9
    • all updated
    • trying within a separate vault with minimal plugins

    Plugin Settings

    • default (besides Pinboard Api token of course)

    Problem

    Error message

    • [Pinboard sync] failed
    Screenshot of Obsidian

    hint

    • it works in an entire new vault
    • could have to do with the daily note location
    • surprisingly there is no setting to direct the plugin to the daily note location
      • is this the missing part?

    Any clue what I am missing?

    Won't sync. What am I missing?

    Installed current version (1.0.2) into a new Obsidian install on my Android device (Samsung 22 Ultra). Enabled and input my PB API Token. Tapped the sync toggle, and got [Pnboard Sync] failed. ScreenShot of Error

    Are there sync longs somewhere I can inspect for hints on how to fix this?
