I'm a little unclear on the origin of the JSONBookmarks/* data. Could you clarify how to initially populate the bookmark data? Are you using data from /2/users/:id/bookmarks?

See https://dev.to/divyajyotiuk/exporting-your-twitter-bookmarks-in-markdown-file-19bj

@divyajyotiuk I just did an export of my bookmarks and the json looked like this (note the "v2"):
{"data":{"bookmark_timeline_v2":{"timeline":{"instructions":[{"type":"TimelineAddEntries","entries":[{...

When changing that in your v3 code, it works smoothly for me.

Thanks ! The v3 works for me.
In my case, I have to add encoding utf8 :
md_file = open("bookmarks.md", "w+", encoding="utf8")
open(file_name, encoding="utf8")

Like @kiu I also needed to update line 34 to this to parse the bookmarks I just downloaded:

instructions_list = deep_get(data, "data.bookmark_timeline_v2.timeline.instructions")

(the bookmark_timeline_v2 is the new part)
