Export links from Google Spaces

/*
Inspired by https://gist.github.com/daniele-rapagnani/2e7372210726b28aec8f0d2d1d149ffb
This script selects all links on a Google Spaces page with url, title and date.
Reload the page for every space and scroll down to the end (until it says
"The end is just a new beginning.").
Open the browser's console (right click -> inspect -> "Console") and paste these lines.
It then logs it to a HTML string which you can copy and save as "spaces-exports.html".
When changing to another service (e.g. Dropmark, Pocket ...) you can use the html file
to import all links from Spaces.

Thanks! Great script!
This helped me:

USAGE:

  1. Place yourself on the space page you want to export (such as: https://spaces.google.com/space/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
  2. Refresh the page (don't forget to do this)
  3. Paste the following script in the console run it
  4. Choose a location for the resulting file

Yours,
Christian.
