Make Github starred repos bookmarks in pinboard. I wish IFTTT did this.

gh-starred-pinboard.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

# send github starred repos to pinboard
# Get the token here:
# https://api.pinboard.in/v1/user/api_token/info

from __future__ import print_function

import sys

import requests

GH_URL = 'https://api.github.com/users/{username}/starred'
ADD_URL = 'https://api.pinboard.in/v1/posts/add'
GET_URL = 'https://api.pinboard.in/v1/posts/get'

def get_starred(username):
    "Get the starred repos for user."
    return requests.get(GH_URL.format(username=username)).json()


def main(args):
    "main"
    username = args[1]
    token = args[2]

    pb_session = requests.Session()
    pb_session.params = {
        'auth_token': '{username}:{token}'.format(username=username,
                                                  token=token)}
    for repo in get_starred(username):
        url = repo.get('html_url')
        exists = pb_session.get(GET_URL, params={'url': url})
        exists.raise_for_status()

        if exists.status_code != 200:
            print('Bad response')
            continue

        # uh...just look for url in the response..skip XML parsing
        if url not in exists.text:
            params = {'url': url,
                      'description': repo.get('full_name'),
                      'extended': repo.get('description'),
                      'tags': 'github,starred'}
            update = pb_session.get(ADD_URL, params=params)
            update.raise_for_status()
            print('Added {0}'.format(repo.get('name')))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    if len(sys.argv) != 3:
        print('Usage: {0} [github username] [pinboard token]'.format(sys.argv[0]))
        sys.exit(-1)
    main(sys.argv)
