clippings -o json ./clippings.txt
# or from stdin:
cat clippings.txt | clippings -Programmatic Usage
from clippings import parse_clippings
my_clippings_file = ...
parse_clippings(my_clippings_file)Want to parse non-English clippings?
Here's a highlight clipping taken from a Kindle that speaks Spanish::
El Principe de la Niebla (Carlos Ruiz Zaf贸n)
- La subrayado en la p谩gina 4 | posici贸n 60-60 | A帽adido el mi茅rcoles, 6 de julio de 2022 06:54:57
asintiendo a una pregunta que Max no hab铆a llegado a formular.parse_clippings won't parse this by default but you can write your own parser for
the second line and pass it to the parameter metadata_parser.
You can take a look at an example here.
