Linkding Netscape Bookmarks Importer

This script takes an HTML file with the Netscape bookmarks format, converts it to JSON, and imports the bookmarks to the Linkding bookmark manager.

How to use it

1. Install Node.js on your computer if you don't already have it.
2. Get the importer.js file from the releases section.
3. Create a folder called data on the same directory where the importer.js is placed.
4. Inside that data folder, place the bookmarks HTML file, and rename it to bookmarks.html.
5. Inside that data folder, create a new file called config.json with the following structure:

{
  "linkding": {
    "url": "LINKDING_URL",
    "token": "LINKDING_TOKEN"
  },
  "options": {
    "exportParsedBookmarks": true,
    "exportBookmarksPreLinkdingImport": true
  }
}

6. Replace LINKDING_URL with the base URL you use to access Linkding. Example: https://linkding.mydomain.com.
7. Replace LINKDING_API_TOKEN with Linkdin's API token. To get it login into the web application, go to Settings, go to Integrations, and at the bottom of that page you can find the API token.
8. Run the script with node importer_x.x.x.js.
