Just an FYI that Pinboard pages aren't public anymore, only being visible to those who are logged in to Pinboard.
Marciej mentioned the following when I noticed myself and asked what the cause was:
> Unfortunately you've run into a necessary anti-crawling measure that keeps the site from getting overwhelmed. About four months ago I started getting hammered by distributed crawlers from Chinese IPs, with no real way to block them short of blocking the entire IP range. Putting things behind a login is a stopgap while I try to figure out a more durable and friendly solution that makes it possible to have public-facing pages again.
- notachatbot123 2y agoAnother FYI: Requesting one's archive seems to go nowhere nowadays.
- ghaff 2y agoHmm. I still use pinboard pretty actively although I don't usually link post any longer. I'll have to take a look.
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoI'm sure that was more convenient, but did it provide anything that the API doesn't? Asking because I'm planning to use the API to get a dump of all my bookmarks soon—I've always had a very pleasant experience using the Pinboard API, compared to many others. Edit: I just checked and it's a single http call to get all bookmarks, very simple. Granted I 'only' have ~800 bookmarks, so it may get tricker with larger archives.
- AndrewDucker 2y agoWell that sucks! Not that I think many people were looking at my Pinboard page directly. But still. Interestingly it doesn't apply to the RSS feeds - you can still visit https://feeds.pinboard.in/rss/u:andrewducker/ https://feeds.pinboard.in/rss/u:andrewducker/
