Google Apps Script does offer the UrlFetch service which can fetch resources from other websites. I imagine you'll need this to retrieve a file from instapaper.

Just tried kobo-grive-sync for a fews days.
It's very convenience one can upload ebooks to google drive and sync them to kobo. However if one wish to sync a big file (ex. a comic cbz which is over 50MB), the wifi connection will fall to sleep before the big file downloaded. So if you want view comic books on kobo ereader, usb connection is still the best choice. |

An option (though not optimal) would be to immitate activity that Kobo device recognizes as user activity - instead of sync (this will end sooner or later, putting the wifi to sleep) you can browse the kobo bookstore for a while , hitting some item every 3(?) minutes or so.

The Instapaper API provides for OAuth authentication, which is how Google does authentications, so well supported by the Google Apps Script Urlfetch service. It would seem that you could then use Instapaper's /api/1/bookmarks/list and /api/1/bookmarks/get_text APIs. The one drawback I see is that it's a violation of Instapaper's API Terms-of-use to have the Apps script store your username/password, so you'd have to enter them every time you used the script. |

The drawback you mention I think should be alright. If I remember correctly you don't need your password, just your email address, to collect the epub. Another way would be to not use Google Drive at all, but build an option into the Kobo Grive tool so it would check both Kobo servers, Google Drive and Instapaper during sync. But I should stop hijacking this thread, I'm sorry |

I'll have to look into this script, because I've been wanting to work on a similar use case for some time now
as to the instapaper question by Mrs_Often, I use a quite similar service called readability (readability.com) and they too provide a link to download a saved article in epub format. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a script to download said epub, as the link actually generates the epub on the fly and a scripted fetch will go in a timeout... You will probably hit the same wall if trying to fetch the epub on instapaper... I have a setup that allows me to get Readability's articles as epubs on my kobo, but it is quite a pain to setup for now. And it needs java, which is not commonly available on low-cost hosting services (I've done an app that downloads formatted content from Readability and transforms it into epubs). > dedicated web server, with the java readability-to-epub app + simple php page to list epubs created after a certain date > a script on the kobo to query the php page for latest epubs and download them then simulate USB plugged-in plugged-out > kobo plugin to have a menu entry that starts this sync script not ideal nor user friendly as I said |

Hello, I want to share a last thing for this project, maybe we should create another topic btw. Recently I created a script for toggl.com (time tracking tool, I used it in google Spreadsheet; api documentation here: https://www.toggl.com/public/api). What I want to say is that this may work on the same way as Instapaper, so maybe we can edit my script to use it for instapaper. I don't have much time right now, but if anyone is interested here is my toggl example script: https://github.com/koen-github/Toggl...or-Google-Docs Edit: Is this link already posted? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7...vascript-xauth Last edited by koenieee; 03-24-2013 at 09:20 AM. |

How to sync only one directory in the virtual sd card?
I want to change the mounting behaviour of the Virtual SD card. I would like to mount not the whole .grive-sync/sd/ directory, but only a subdirectory I have inside KogoGrive/
What do I need to modify in the scripts so as not to mess things up? I need to test some stuff... |

I suspect that means you can't mount only a subdirectory. But then, I haven't a clue, maybe you can but it was too much work to change? If you manage anything, please let us know |
