Export Feedly Read Later to Pocket

  "created":"ISO-8601 formatted time and timezone",
  "modified":"ISO-8601 formatted time and timezone",

3. Keep scrolling down the page until all saved documents have been loaded. If you got some errors, try to disable all browser addons.
4. Right click on the page and select "Inspect Element".
5. Inside the "Inspector" tool, click the "Console" tab.
6. Copy the code below and paste into the console. A JSON file should be downloaded.
7. Go to https://getpocket.com/import/springpad and import the downloaded JSON file.

// Feedly doesn't use jQuery so firstly inject it into the page
function loadJQuery() {
    script = document.createElement('script');
    script.setAttribute('src', '//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js');
    script.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
    script.onload = loadSaveAs;
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
}

function loadSaveAs() {
    saveAsScript = document.createElement('script');
    saveAsScript.setAttribute('src', '//cdn.jsdelivr.net/g/filesaver.js');
    saveAsScript.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
    saveAsScript.onload = saveToFile;
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(saveAsScript);
}

function saveToFile() {
    // Loop through the DOM, grabbing the information from each bookmark
    map = jQuery(".entry.quicklisted").map(function (i, el) {
        var $el = jQuery(el);
        var time = $el.find("span.ago").attr("title").split("\n");
        return {
            "name":$el.attr("data-title"),
            "url":$el.attr("data-alternate-link"),
            "created": new Date(time[1].split("Received: ")[1]).toISOString(), 
            "modified": new Date(time[0].split("Published: ")[1]).toISOString(),
            "image":$el.find("div.visual").css('background-image').split(/"/)[1]
        };
    }).get(); // Convert jQuery object into an array

    // Convert to a nicely indented JSON string
    json = JSON.stringify(map, undefined, 2);
    var blob = new Blob([json], { type: "application/json;charset=utf-8" });
    // Downloads as a file to the desktop, and use Feedly user's email in the filename.
    saveAs(blob, `FeedlyReadLater_${streets.getEmail()}_${Date.now().toString()}.json`);
}
