Just an FYI that Pinboard pages aren't public anymore, only being visible to those who are logged in to Pinboard.
Marciej mentioned the following when I noticed myself and asked what the cause was:
> Unfortunately you've run into a necessary anti-crawling measure that keeps the site from getting overwhelmed. About four months ago I started getting hammered by distributed crawlers from Chinese IPs, with no real way to block them short of blocking the entire IP range. Putting things behind a login is a stopgap while I try to figure out a more durable and friendly solution that makes it possible to have public-facing pages again.
I'm sure that was more convenient, but did it provide anything that the API doesn't? Asking because I'm planning to use the API to get a dump of all my bookmarks soon—I've always had a very pleasant experience using the Pinboard API, compared to many others.
Edit: I just checked and it's a single http call to get all bookmarks, very simple. Granted I 'only' have ~800 bookmarks, so it may get tricker with larger archives.
