Some threadreaderapp URLs

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/14

For my link archive so I can better automate archiving Tweet threads using bookmarklets written in JavaScript:

The base will likely be this:

javascript:void(open(`https://archive.is/?run=1&url=${encodeURIComponent(document.location)}`))

which for now I have modified into this:

javascript:void(open(`https://threadreaderapp.com/search?q=${document.location}`))

It works perfectly fine without URL encoding and demonstrates the JavaScript backtick feature for template literals for which you can find documentation at [WayBack/Archive] Template literals – JavaScript | MDN.

This is the POST request:

curl 'https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1499996661535367169/refreshx' \
  -X 'POST' \
  -H 'authority: threadreaderapp.com' \

Later I did a search which came up with almost the same solution; this is how I got there:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] bookmarklet threadreaderapp – Google Search
  2. [Wayback/Archive] Thread reader app browser bookmark (no backticks; encodes the URL):
    javascript:q=location.href;void(t=open('https://threadreaderapp.com/search?q='+encodeURIComponent(q)));
  3. [Wayback/Archive] Unroll tweetstorm bookmarklet – Technical Notes
    javascript:window.location.href = 'https://threadreaderapp.com/search?q='+encodeURI(window.location.href)
  4. [Wayback/Archive] Bookmarklet Creator with Script Includer – Peter Coles which besides prepending with javascript:, also performs URL-encoding on the JavaScript code in the Bookmarklet and wraps that code in a self executing anonymous function plus call like mentioned at [Wayback/Archive] Phrappe.com | ice-chilled, instant web tips
    (function () {
      //code
    })();
  5. [Wayback/Archive] mrcoles/bookmarklet: A server-side bookmarklet compiler with greasemonkey userscript-like metadata options and the power of babel and uglify
  6. [Wayback/Archive] bookmarklet – npm

The last two were not really relevant when writing this but look promising for a future blog post.
