This is a tool for creating a local backup of your Pinboard bookmarks.

$ cargo install backup-pinboard

Download your bookmarks metadata:

$ backup-pinboard metadata --username=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD

This downloads your metadata to pinboard.json. You can specify an alternative path with --output, for example:

$ backup-pinboard metadata --username=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD --output=~/backups/pinboard.json

If you have an archival account, you can also download copies of your saved pages:

$ backup-pinboard archive --username=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD --output_directory=~/backups/pinboard-archive
