Following in Charlotte’s footsteps?
After thinking about it, I finally figured out how to PESOS from Pocket to my own site using IFTTT. I tried to do it in a similar way to how Charlotte Allen did this.The first step was to retrieve an IndieAuth access token using the tool Gimme a token. Then I created a IFTTT applet with the a new favorite item on Pocket as the trigger and a Webhook to execute. I filled out the details for the Webhook as follows:URL: The URL of the Micropub endpointMethod: POSTContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencodedBody: access_token=INDIEAUTHTOKEN&content=section: links&h=entry&category[]=Pocket&bookmark-of={{Url}}&name={{Title}}The part with “section: links” in the body is my custom way to sort posts into blog sections like posts, thoughts, links etc. Every post created via this hook lands in the links section.It’s a bit sad, that it isn’t possible to create a new “Recommended article” as trigger, because with this feature you can share a custom comment to the link. Favorites don’t have that.Update 1 (reply to Charlotte Allen’s question why the URL is not escaped): I tried escaping the parts as you did, with two or three “<”, but somehow that created a strange result. Then I tried it without and somehow it worked. Seems like when the body is sent as application/x-www-form-urlencoded, it doesn’t matter if it is encoded.Update 2 (reply to Chris Aldrich’s question): It is indeed based on Charlotte’s post.
