Hypothes.is - retrieve your annotations into Obsidian (for templater plugin)
<%*
/*
# Hypothes.idian a templater script for retrieving annotations from Hypothes.is
Dev: RoamHacker https://twitter.com/roamhacker
# Prerequisites:
+ Templater plugin by https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater
+ Free Hypothes.is developer token from: https://hypothes.is/account/developer
+ This script will prompt you for his token and save it to a file called "hypothesis config.md"
+ This file store your configuration and can be located any where in your vault.
+ Since it contains your unique user token, you should not share this file with others.
# Features:
+ Retrieve your annotations for a web article/web PDF'
+ Retrieve your annotations from a date
+ Open a URL in hypothes.is for annotation
+ Retrieve ALL user annotations for a web article/web PDF
# Output:
+ If an empty document, descriptive front matter is output to beginning of the document, followed by annotations
+ If document already contains text, the annotations are inserted at the current location
# Update Log:
+ 2021-05-04 fix that they config file can be located anywhere
+ 2021-04-26 First alpha version released to testers

Details for the use of this code can be found at https://forum.obsidian.md/t/retrieve-annotations-for-hypothes-is-via-templater-plugin-hypothes-idian/17225

I've only modified the section at the bottom that follows the line
/* TEMPLATE STARTS HERE */

The changes still keep all the relevant data fields, but reorder them and add a bit of formatting to fit the layout and the way I use my Obsidian notebook. I changed the formatting so that tags in Hypothes.is are changed into [[wikilinks]] rather than #hashtags as in the original.

Hopefully the small changes I've made and comparison with the original https://gist.github.com/roamhacker/c48bca69f1520deed0ecbc8840f6241a will provide those who aren't as code-savy to better understand the template.
