Using Pocket Developer API

To get my reading history from Pocket, I'm going to use pocketr (not on CRAN, doesn't seem to be the full workflow necessary, presumably for privacy reasons)

Documenting the Pocket developer API:

  • Make a new app here

    • Give it a name (mine is qupo for "queck-pock" 🦆),
      • to [eventually] correspond to the repo at queck/pock

  • To handle 'secrets' (confidential credentials for the API authorisation process) I will follow the guidance of Jenny Bryan here which is [in brief] to use .Renviron, as was the consensus [ish] in the replies to her thread here (2015, and apparently still in 2017)

    • Jenny's piece was recommended in this tutorial, "Handling OAuth secrets securely with RStudio on your Mac"
