unsavory: get rid of those stale bookmarks!

unsavory checks your Pinboard bookmarks for dead links (specifically HTTP status codes 404 and 410) and removes them. Additionally it will also inform you about links which return a status code other than 200 (OK).

This is a Go re-implementation of the original Ruby version.

If you wonder about the name, this program was originally written for del.icio.us and I can't resist a bad pun.

$ brew tap citizen428/homebrew-tap
$ brew install unsavory

Head over to the release page and download the archive for your operating system/architecture.

$ docker run --rm citizen428/unsavory -token=user:NNNNNN --dry-run

$ go install github.com/citizen428/unsavory...

Usage of unsavory:
  -dry-run
    	Enables dry run mode
  -proxy-url string
    	HTTP proxy URL
  -token string
    	Pinboard API token

Just start unsavory from the command line and provide the Pinboard API token from your settings page.

$ unsavory -token=user:NNNNNN
Retrieving URLs
Retrieved 783 URLS
...

If you don't want to actually delete links, add the -dry-run option:

$ unsavory -token=user:NNNNNN -dry-run
You are using dry run mode. No links will be deleted!

Retrieving URLs
Retrieved 783 URLS
...

If a HTTP_PROXY environment variable is present, Go's HTTP client will automatically use it. Alternatively a proxy server can be specified via the --proxy-url option:

$ unsavory --token=user:NNNNNN --proxy-url=http://example.com:8080

Any link that returns an HTTP status code of 404 or 410 will be deleted without warning. There's no undo, use at your own risk!

• Add tests
• Feature parity with legacy Ruby version
• Add option to replace links with Archive.org links (?)
• Add option to update redirects (?)
