Option for passing bookmark URL in as query parameter

[timshannon]

Since bookmarklet support has been dropped favor of the extension (#180), it be nice to have a fall back for any other scenario where the extension doesn't work (other browsers, locked down browser environments, etc).

Simply accepting a URL parm at the root page that automatically opens the Add bookmark dialog and pre-populates the URL from the parameter value would allow for this.

https://my-shiori-url.com?add_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com

I may add a PR for this, if you think it's a reasonable addition. It should be able to be done entirely in the frontend Vue code.

Bookmarklet support is important to me. It's simpler, and much more widely supported, than browser extensions.

I don't have a strong opinion on what the URL should be but #84 with commit 4b93937 introduced /submit?url= - see:

• 4b93937#diff-52f15f47c42ebad7b01d0c2eb2a495faR43
• 4b93937#diff-68382b9aa5b82414a20bf208bb1b0859R654
• 4b93937#diff-b15905fa00a4be61475ec51fae6c09f1R109

This was a fallback for non-https installations (I'm personally running a private instance withOUT https).

I'd recommend adopting the previous URL (and bookmarklet) support.

I'd recommend adopting the previous URL (and bookmarklet) support.

Was that removed? That's definitely going back in. Looks like it worked perfectly.

A GET-based submission endpoint is essential, imo. It allows you to integrate Shiori with almost anything.

I'd like to bump this request as well because it is such a huge QoL feature for Shiori.

I am not comfortable with the extension being able to read all the sites I visit. A bookmarklet would alleviate most of these concerns.

Furthermore, I'd like to have token based authentication instead of username and password, for increased security. This could work like following:

• An account has a token that is displayed somewhere in the UI
• There is a button to invalidate the token and generating a new one
• The token only permits to add new bookmarks and nothing else. With this, the worst thing that can happen to a lost token is spam.

hey @piegamesde ! Just as a comment, this is what I'm trying to aim for! Better API (which means better integrations), better authentication/sessions and tokens. But I'm just one person and I'm very busy lately. We will get there with time :)

Is there an update on this? A bookmarklet feature would let me integrate this with iOS as well.

[fmartingr]

The issue tracking this is here: #269

I've put it in the roadmap for 1.9.0, but we may end up doing it sooner.

I need to finish setting up the proper auth methods in order to work with the bookmarklet; for iOS, I'm assuming the API refactor would work as well, right? (you mean iOS Shortcuts or something else?)

[sommerper]

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I mean Shortcuts (and bookmarklets). So I can just press share on a website and send the url to Shiori.
