A friend of mine needed his del.icio.us links in MT Import format for some reason. This solved that problem.



require 'rexml/document'

require 'net/https'

require 'rubygems'



# change credentials!

user = 'username'

pass = 'password'



# User-Agent: required for del.icio.us api

agent = 'delicious-mt'

xml = ''



http = Net::HTTP.new('api.del.icio.us', 443)

http.use_ssl = true

http.start do |http|

  request = Net::HTTP::Get.new('/v1/posts/all', {'User-Agent' => agent})

  request.basic_auth(user, pass)

  response = http.request(request)

  response.value

  xml = response.body

end

 

REXML::Document.new(xml).elements.each('posts/post') do |el|

  puts "TITLE: #{el.attributes['description']}"

  puts "AUTHOR: Author Name"

  puts "DATE: #{DateTime.parse(el.attributes['time']).strftime("%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S")}"

  puts "-----"

  puts "BODY:"

  puts el.attributes['extended']

  puts "-----"

  puts "EXCERPT:"

  puts el.attributes['href']

  puts "KEYWORDS:"

  puts el.attributes['tag']

  puts "-----"

  puts "--------"

end
