omnivore-api-demo

A simple demo of Omnivore's API. This app connects to Omnivore's API, and paginates through all of the supplied user's recently saved articles and saves their contents as markdown into a documents directory.

Optionally you can set a search term.

Requirements

  • Node.js >= version 14
  • An Omnivore account
  • Auth token from Omnivore

Environment Variables

  • OMNIVORE_AUTH_TOKEN=<string> // mandatory
  • OMNIVORE_API_URL=<string> // optional, defaults to production service
  • SEARCH_TERM=<string> // optional, defaults to an empty string

Getting Started

Currently Omnivore does not expose API Tokens, but you can use the auth Cookie from a logged in session.

  1. Go to https://omnivore.app, login, and copy the value of the auth cookie. How to do this differs for every browser. If you're using Chrome:
  • Open Developer Tools (Option + Cmd + I)
  • Go the Application tab
  • Find the auth cookie in the list. Copy the value. It should look something like this: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiI

  1. Run npm install

  2. run OMNIVORE_AUTH_TOKEN="<your token>" npm run-script start
