Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/390

I ran the Improved import from Pocket on a fresh install and it correctly imported my bookmarks with images and the title but it did not import my tags.

I also ran the built in shiori pocket method which correctly imported my tags but not the title or images.

How can I get titles, images and tags from Pocket? Thanks.

Note: I'm running the latest version in docker using a MYSQL database.

@robflate I've also stumbled into this, but managed to extract tags via nodejs:

// index.mjs
//
// > node index.mjs
import { readFileSync, writeFileSync } from 'fs';
import { dirname, join } from 'path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';

const __dirname = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));

const POCKET_EXPORT_FILENAME = join(__dirname, 'Pocket_export.html');
const OUTPUT_FILENAME = join(__dirname, 'shiori_commands.txt');

const contents = readFileSync(POCKET_EXPORT_FILENAME, {encoding: 'utf-8'});
const items = contents.split('<li>');

const processItem = (itemStr) => {
    const hrefMatch = itemStr.match(/href="([^\"]+)"/);
    const tagsMatch = itemStr.match(/tags="([^\"]*)"/);
    const nameMatch = itemStr.match(/>([^<]+)<\/a/);

    if (!hrefMatch || !tagsMatch || !nameMatch) {
        console.warn(`Failed to parse "${itemStr}"`);

        return null;
    }

    const href = hrefMatch[1];
    const name = nameMatch[1];

    const tagsList = tagsMatch[1]
        .split(',')
        .filter(Boolean);

    return {
        href,
        tagsList,
        name,
    }
}

const toShioriCmdArgs = ({href, tagsList, name}) => {
    const tags = tagsList.length > 0
        ? ` --tags "${tagsList.join(',')}"`
        : '';

    // Shiori does a better job of extracting names itself    
    /*const nameStr = name.includes(' ')
        ? `'${name}'`
        : name;
    */

    return `${href} ${tags}`;
};


const list = items
    .slice(1,)
    .map(item => processItem(item))
    .filter(Boolean)
    .map(itemData => toShioriCmdArgs(itemData))
    .join('\n');


writeFileSync(OUTPUT_FILENAME, list, {encoding: 'utf-8'});

Then I've put the output file to the folder synced with the Docker container & ran a slightly modified script inside the container:

head -n 50 /srv/shiori/shiori_commands.txt | xargs -e$'\n' -I {} echo "shiori add {}" | xargs -I {} sh -c {}

^^ Adds first 50 links from the exported list.

Maybe this will be useful to you 😅
