Stale
Stale identifies and deletes stale Pinboard links.
You can grab the latest code package by cloning this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/jparise/stale.git
... or by downloading the latest tarball.
Usage
usage: stale.py [-h] [-t TOKEN] [--ignore REGEX [REGEX ...]] [-d] [-e] [-v]
[--version]
Identify (and optionally delete) stale Pinboard links.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t TOKEN, --token TOKEN
your Pinboard API token ('username:hex-values')
--ignore REGEX [REGEX ...]
ignore links from these hosts
-d, --delete delete stale links
-e equate errors with staleness
-v enable verbose output
--version show program's version number and exit
You can find your personal Pinboard API token in your Settings. It will
look like <pinboard-username>:<long-string-of-hex-values>.
SSL Certificates
Stale visits each link to verify that it is still active. Because most hosts
use SSL, it's important for your Python environment to have a current set of
SSL certificates. Otherwise, the connection attempt might fail with an error
like [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed.
For macOS, you can update your certificates by running this command:
/Applications/Python\ 3.7/Install\ Certificates.command
