Export Toby

export-toby.js

// code courtesy of Toby team

chrome.storage.local.get("state", o => (
((f, t) => {
let e = document.createElement("a");
e.setAttribute("href", `data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,${encodeURIComponent(t)}`);
e.setAttribute("download", f);
e.click();
})(`TobyBackup${Date.now()}.json`, o.state)
));

@nickmadedesign:
with jq, try this:
jq '.lists[] | select(.title == "Name of the List") | .cards[].url' your_backup_file.json

To list all your lists, do this:
jq '.lists[].title' your_backup_file.json

Again, this can also be solved in JavaScript but if you like having a full backup and extracting your relevant data from that, then this would work.

Ah, right. Perfect. Thank you!

I am counting that this thread is still visited by people who can help me. I was careless and have not created my account with Toby, so all of my saved URLs are on my local files system, created under the account name defined by my local logon to Chrome browser.

Yesterday, I had to logout from Chrome - and I forgot to check which account was used to create Toby list of URL. So getting back to use my Toby collections - I got this:

The screenshot indicates how I was perceived as a guest (of Toby), so I tried all of my Chrome accounts, to get to see my two pages worth of bookmarks, to no avail. Is there a way to get my painfully collected urls?

Is there a way to do the inverse? take an export (in JSON for example) and inject it to Toby's local storage

put into chrome console and keep getting:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘local’ of undefined at :1:16

Thanks for this. Do you guys know how to import the exported collection to say a new account?
