Use this to automatically scrape all of your saved Instapaper articles locally as HTML and PDF files. I originally wrote this to read my saved documents on my reMarkable tablet. Instapaper does not have an option to export all my stuff as PDF as far as I could tell (the built-in options only export a subset).
You will need to have the following packages installed:
Configure your username and password, then run the script. It will go through all articles shown on your home page and download the copy Instapaper has stored into a folder called output
as HTML file and convert it into a PDF. You can customize the look by updating the included styles.css
file. Any errors will be reported and logged to failed.txt
. Errors might be due to parsing errors on Instapaper's side or due to PDF conversion issues.
