Obsidian Web: Connect your browser with your Obsidian notes

This is an unofficial Chrome extension for Obsidian that lets you send content from the web to your notes in Obsidian.

  1. Install this Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Install and enable Obsidian Local REST API from the Obsidian Community Plugins settings in Obsidian.
  3. Click on the "Obsidian Web" icon in your toolbar and follow the displayed instructions.

Now you should be able to click on the icon in your toolbar to submit the page you're on to Obsidian:

    The extensions appears to be working fine, but there is a persistent red ERR message on the extension on my menu bar.

    Not sure why, everything still works and appears to be setup correctly. It wasn't there initially, but now doesn't seem to be going away.

    Option → Templates needs scrollbar.

    Thanks for the amazing expansion. Finally, it is very easy to get information on the web in obsidian. When I modify template, I can't save changes because the "save change" button moves to the bottom of browser.

    Appends content to the end of the currently opened note

    I read the Local REST API for Obsidian Doc and I'm trying to create a template to append content to the end of the currently opened note

    this is my template :

    And when I test this template with the selected text I get this error message :

    What am I doing wrong and how can I modify the template to make it work properly?

  • API Key not accepted in Chrome, Arc and Orion browsers

    API Key not accepted in Chrome, Arc and Orion browsers

    Hi, thanks for your promising plugin. I would love to make it work, but I get an API warning “Your API Key not accepted” with a red circle with white exclamation mark symbol, and after I save/or refresh the page an orange shield behind the API field. I've tried to make it work with the insecure HTTP Server, the port is on the default 27124, and I copy/pasted the API key. Do you know what could cause this? I tried in all Chrome/chromium browsers that I've got.

    Interestingly, I've entered my API on https://coddingtonbear.github.io/obsidian-local-rest-api/#/ and there it got accepted.

  • Cannot use timezone patterns in date format parameter

    Cannot use timezone patterns in date format parameter

    The timezone patterns from date-fns (e.g. xx and XX) don't seem to work when used in the date format string.

    Example format string:

    date: {{date YYYY-MM-DD HH-mmxx}}
    

    Results in:

    date: 2022-09-19 02:00:35

  • Option to remove extraneous page content

    Option to remove extraneous page content

    Wow, just stumbled across this extension and it looks amazing!! Really loving the different template abilities and all the configurability.

    One request I'd like to make after comparing the page content that's downloaded to something like MarkDownload, which is the extension I've been using, is the difference in the amount of content that's extracted.

    Obsidian Web also seems to be capturing a lot of extraneous content such as page navigation links, comments, hidden markup, etc..

    Perhaps an option to download a stripped down "Readability" version of the page?

    Can not access page when page first loaded

    Hi, I'm using Microsoft Edge browser 105.0.1343.53 x64 and install this extension from chrome web store. Also, I installed Local Rest API plugin.

    But when I open the web page, it can not access page, and can not set it to acces all host. I only can access web page by click this extension every time.

    Here is the snapshot:

  • Cannot escape time strings in date format parameter

    Cannot escape time strings in date format parameter

    @csu earlier reported this via #39

    Escaping characters also doesn't seem to work. According to https://date-fns.org/v2.28.0/docs/format:

    The characters wrapped between two single quotes characters (') are escaped.

    However, when I put a character between two single quotes, the entire template fails to save. Specifically, I'm trying to escape a 'T' so I can form an ISO 8601 standard date string (e.g. 2019-09-18T19:00:52Z).

    is there a demo showing how this works?

    Hi, this extension sounds very promising. Is there a demo or documentation page showing how this works? The readme doesn't seem to give me a clear understanding of how this works.
