(Archived) Save starred articles in Google Reader to Evernote?

[Clear 0]

Can somebody develop such a tool please?

IFTTT is probably your friend in this case. https://ifttt.com/recipes/2405

Hi Clear,

 

Aside from using IFTTT, I am sorry to say this, but Google just announced today that they are shuttering Google Reader, effective July 1, 2013.

 

Here is the official announcement: http://googlereader.blogspot.com/2013/03/powering-down-google-reader.html?m=1

 

Just an FYI.

Yes, I noticed the sad announcement, which is why I want to migrate the important blogs to my Evernote. I just tried IFTTT and it works fine. But I think I'll have to do many unstarring and restarring:(

 

BTW, I found this recipe better: https://ifttt.com/recipes/9134

Hello,

 

it's exactly because Google Reader is being shutting down that we (a lot of google reader fans) need this kind of tool

 

If I'm not mistaken, IFFFT can not migrate existing data. Please correct me if I'm wrong

 

Using Google Takeout, we can download a zip file

In this there is a starred.json file with a JSONArray named "items" containing array of JSONObject like this one

So if anyone can write such a tool, that would be a great advertisement for evernote :-)

This tool does exist! I have successfully migrated all my stars to Evernote. You will have to use Python, but it is very easy to use:

I just had to run

 

python export2enex.py > export.enex

and afterwards just import the enex file via the Evernote Desktop client. Done :-)

It's been quiet in this discussion, but I wanted to give a head's up for this: http://github.com/dpaeme/starred2enex

 

I've written a python script, inspired by export2enex.py, that creates evernote notes from google reader's starred.json file. The big difference is that it fetches all images embedded in the stories, and adds them to the note - and it makes sure that everything imports into EN flawlessly.

 

Have fun with it, and do give me a shout if something doesn't work.

Awesome dvdpm, will give it a try right away. I would love to have pictures in the notes.
