Same issue. I contacted support and literally never got a response. Cancelled my subscription. Now I use Zotero and it's pretty good

#14Tangential: for those of us _not_ running into functional issues with Pinboard, [Paperback]( https://readpaperback.com ) remains one of my favorite addon services for a SaaS pretty much ever. One-time payment unlocks ad-free Instapaper-like functionality driven from your Pinboard account. Superb. (Unaffiliated, happy customer.)
It's so great. I just have it installed on my phone via a wrapper. My most used "app". And I LOVE the feature where you can send the pinboard articles to your kindle. Longform reading is so great that way.
Absolutely worth the cost.

#15My archiving still works . However, I am unable to get ANY response from support. Have sent several emails. I have made plans to leave.
Re: Ask HN: What Happened to Pinboard?
#16Maybe the broken arching happens with LARGE numbers of archive bookmarks? How many bookmarks do people have ?

I'd like a tool that (slowly) downloads a persons Pinboard archived data .
( Pinboard supposedly offers this service - but it does not work for me )

Yes Histre will import all your Pinboard bookmarks when you turn on the integration. Regarding web archives specifically: I'll look into that feature.

#20Been a LONG time happy user of Pinboard.
I was looking to make automated backups of my bookmarks (not the archive) and I realized that the below (with your own values for the cookies) is a quick and easy way to pull down a json of all of your entries:
curl --cookie "s_fid=; auth=; secauth=; login=alexpotato" https://pinboard.in/export/format:json/ -o pinboard.$(date -I).json
