Read It Later Support

Please add RIL for Chrome!

• Nate

  I don't currently have a native plug-in for Chrome, but you can get much of Read It Later's functionality by adding the RIL bookmarklets to Chrome
  
  There are three:
  -Save for later
  -Mark As Read
  -Reading List
  
  You can download them from http://readitlaterlist.com/bookmarklets after logging into your account!

    this is great thanks and I already made experiments with it
    I successfully added a page to the list with a GET request to https://readitlaterlist.com/v2/add and also read my list with a request to https://readitlaterlist.com/v2/get
    
    but I don't know how to change items with https://readitlaterlist.com/v2/send
    (I want to mark a page as read)
    
    can you give some example how to send the json data in javascript
    do I have to use a POST request?
    how should I send the user information?
    
    thanks

      Hey Dom
      
      Sorry about the delay in response. I've been working hard on the upcoming 2.0 version of Read It Later. Which is now in public beta:
      http://readitlaterlist.com/blog/2009/09/read-it-later-20-beta-1/
      
      Here is an example of adding a page using the send api and below that I'll show one that marks that same page as read:
      
      Add one page:
      
      https://readitlaterlist.com/v2/send?username=name&password=123&apikey=yourapikey&new={ "0":{"url":"http://google.com","title":"Google"},}
      
      Mark that page as read:
      
      https://readitlaterlist.com/v2/send?username=name&password=123&apikey=yourapikey&read={ "0":{"url":"http://google.com"},}
      
      The send command allows sending multiple changes in one request. For example, you could add 2 pages to a list while marking 4 others as read. It's the main workhorse for syncing a users list.
      
      Take a look at the send section in the API documentation:
      http://readitlaterlist.com/api/docs/#send

  Uhm. Please help. I want RIL in my Chrome. Really, Really. But I can't understand a thing about the API. I've already created an account for it, and also for RIL bookmarklets, and it says, "Drag the following to your toolbar". Which toolbar? In Chrome? In what part? Heeeeelp!

  I'm currently planning development for a Chrome Read it later, I will be Naming it CRiL, and will post here with any real news. I love the api, and can't wait to have something tangible to show.

  I've made an extension for Chrome to integrate RIL's most important features into the browser. It's called Postponer and you can read more about it here: http://julianapena.com/projects/chrome-postponer/

  It would be great to have the Google reader option in Chrome - the show Read It Later button in Google Reader bit.
  
  Otherwise - both this and Juliana Pena's extensions work great with Chrome.

    the "postponer manager" chrome extension seems to do this now.
    
    unsure if it did so at the time of your posting.

      oops .. i meant "postponer adder" does this. "postponer manager" is its sister extension : ]

  I concur with the last comment. The combo of Google Reader and Read It Later has been indispensable. If this one functionality could be brought to Chrome, I'd be ecstatic.

    Hey Chris,
    
    Though it's not an official add-on and is created by another user, check out the Postponer extension for Chrome. It provides RIL integration into Google Reader.
