Examples

{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh list -1 --limit 50 --page 0
{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh list -1 --limit 50 --page 1

# Create collection
{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh create-collection "AI Coding"
# Output: Created: AI Coding / ID: 66016720

# Move single bookmark
{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh move 1234567 66016720

# Update bookmark with tags and move
{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh update 1234567 --tags "claude-code,workflow,tips" --collection 66016720

# Bulk move with rate limiting (100ms between calls)
{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh bulk-move "123,456,789,101112" 66016720 --delay 100

# Find untagged bookmarks in unsorted
{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh list-untagged -1 --limit 100

# Get JSON for scripting
{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh list -1 --json --limit 50 | jq '.items[]._id'

# Count unsorted bookmarks
{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh count -1

Bulk Operations

For large batch operations, use bulk-move which uses the Raindrop batch API (up to 100 items per request):

# Get IDs from unsorted
ids=$({baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh list -1 --json --limit 100 | jq -r '[.items[]._id] | join(",")')

# Move all to collection
{baseDir}/scripts/raindrop.sh bulk-move "$ids" 66016720

Rate Limiting

Raindrop API has rate limits. For bulk operations:

1. Use --delay 100 (100ms between calls)
2. Use bulk-move instead of individual move calls
3. Process in batches of 50-100
