$ python post_entry.py

[alexwlchan]

I continue to post regularly on Dreamwidth, so I’ve extended my previous script for turning Markdown into Dreamwidth HTML, and written another script that asks me a few questions about filters and title, then posts the entry for me.

Everything I’ve posted in the last fortnight came through this script.

Code here if you’re interested:

https://github.com/alexwlchan/junkdrawer/blob/a2a5340a08d3c75f4caf31a89c4f9af2133eb6d4/services/dreamwidth/post_entry.py

There are some weirdnesses in how the API handles filters when posting an entry, so if you want to use it I’d test it on something innocuous first. As usual, code is in the “junk drawer” repo because it’s not especially well-documented, and provided more as a “here is a useful starting point for your own script”, not a finished article.

Stumbled here from your website -- which is great! -- and I've written a bit about using DW's Markdown

as well as DW's built-in at-sign shortcut to usernames.
