Note: This requires disabling 2FA while setting it up
When you issue
python3 syncclient/main.py -u <YOUR EMAIL> --client-id <YOUR CLIENT ID> get_records bookmarks, you get something like"6J***********3Vk" "3_***********Iw7" "U1***********ah"therefore, jq fails. You'd need to run
python3 syncclient/main.py -u <YOUR EMAIL> --client-id <YOUR CLIENT ID> get_record bookmarks --decrypt 6J***********3Vk | jq '.payload | fromjson | select(.type == "bookmark") | .bmkUri'I created the following script to iterate over the response and add bookmarks to archivebox (Keep in mind you need to change
BATCH_SIZEto archive more than 4 at a time): https://gist.github.com/kominoshja/484dd83f978079daf6c3bacebb21fe37Reacted by khimarosGoing to close this for now, I'll add a link to this issue from the README in case it helps ppl in the future trying to set this up.

Suggested Edit
document how to pull bookmarks and/or history from the Firefox Sync server.
this enables the user to simply bookmark pages they want to archive on their desktop and mobile browser and they will automatically be archived by archivebox.
here's what worked for me.
determine your Firefox Sync client id:
import all of your bookmarks into archivebox:
this also works with a self hosted Firefox Sync server by setting the env var
TOKENSERVER_URL="https://<YOUR SYNC SERVER>/token". you can configure this to run on a regular schedule eg. via cron.with a bit of work, you could make this only archive bookmarks with a specific tag or folder.
