The Reading List Parser is a Python script that extracts bookmarked URLs, status codes, titles, and preview texts from a Safari Bookmarks plist file, specifically targeting the Reading List section.

• Python 3.x
• requests library
• plistlib library

1. Clone the repository or download the script file (extract-readinglist.py) to your local machine.

2. Install the required libraries by running the following command:

   pip install requests plistlib
   

1. Locate the Safari Bookmarks plist file (Bookmarks.plist) on your macOS device. It is typically located in the following directory:

   ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
   

2. Copy the Bookmarks.plist file to the same directory as the script (extract-readinglist.py).

3. Run the script by executing the following command:

   python3 extract-readinglist.py
   

4. The script will process the bookmarks and generate a CSV file named readinglist.csv in the same directory.

5. Open the readinglist.csv file to view the extracted data, including the URL, status code, title, and preview text of each bookmark in the Reading List.

• The script assumes that the Bookmarks.plist file is in the correct format and follows the expected structure.
• In case of errors or issues during processing, the script will log an error message for the corresponding bookmark in the CSV file.
• Adjust the script or modify the output format as needed to match your requirements.
