Migrate to wallabag
===================

From wallabag
-------------

Export your data from your wallabag 1.x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On your config page, click on ``JSON export`` in the ``Export your wallabag data`` section.

.. image:: ../../img/user/export_wllbg_1.png
   :alt: Export from wallabag 1.x
   :align: center

You will have a ``wallabag-export-1-1970-01-01.json`` file.

Export your data from your wallabag 2.x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the export sidebar, click on ``JSON``.

.. image:: ../../img/user/export_wllbg_2.png
   :alt: Export from wallabag 2.x
   :align: center

You will have a ``Unread articles.json`` file.

Import your data into wallabag 2.x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Click on  ``Import`` link in the menu, choose the right wallabag version,
select your export file on your computer and import it.

   :alt: Import from wallabag 1.x
   :align: center

All your wallabag articles will be imported.

From Pocket
-----------

Create a new application on Pocket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To import your data from Pocket, we use the Pocket API. You need to create
a new application on their developer website to continue.

* Create a new application `on the developer website <https://getpocket.com/developer/apps/new>`_
* Fill in the required fields: application name, application description,
  permissions (only **retrieve**), platform (**web**), accept the terms of service
  and submit your new application

Pocket will give you a **Consumer Key** (for example, `49961-985e4b92fe21fe4c78d682c1`).
You need to configure the ``pocket_consumer_key`` into the ``app/config/parameters.yml`` file in wallabag.

Now, all is fine to migrate from Pocket.

Import your data into wallabag 2.x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Click on  ``Import`` link in the menu, on ``Import contents`` in Pocket section
and then on ``Connect to Pocket and import data``.

You need to authorize wallabag to interact with your Pocket account.
Your data will be imported. Data import can be a demanding process for your server
(we need to work on this import to improve it).
