How to Use

This script enables easy posting to micro.blog on iOS directly from Drafts by way of Pythonista. Setting it up is easy.

• Head over to your account page at Micro.blog and create a new App Token: click on "Edit Apps", enter the name of this script ("MicroBlogger.py") in the "App Name" field, and generate a new token.
• Copy the Python script and paste it into a new file in Pythonista 3; be sure to call the file "MicroBlogger.py".
• Replace the "XXXXXX..." on line 8 with the API token you generated earlier.
• In Drafts, create a new URL action that sends text to this URL: pythonista://MicroBlogger?action=run&argv=%5B%5Bdraft%5D%5D
• Now just type your post into Drafts, fire the action, and there you go.

Notes

• Note that if you are using the current beta of Pythonista, you may need to add a "root" parameter to the Drafts URL action, if you are using an alternative root folder in Pythonista.
• You can find me on Micro.blog at @jbwhaley if you have any questions.
