Instapaper is a powerful tool for saving and organizing web content for later reading. By integrating with Relevance AI, you can elevate your content management process with AI-driven insights and automation.
Instapaper enables users to save and manage web content effortlessly. With Relevance AI, you can leverage AI Agents to automate content curation and retrieval, making your reading experience smarter and more efficient.
Intelligent Content Orchestration
Agent autonomously collects, categorizes, and prioritizes web content based on learned patterns and user preferences.
Knowledge Synthesis Mastery
Transforms scattered web information into structured, actionable insights through automated analysis and summarization.
Contextual Pattern Recognition
Identifies trends and connections across saved content to generate deeper insights and recommendations.
Relevance AI seamlessly integrates with Instapaper, allowing you to enhance your content management workflows with intelligent capabilities.
What you’ll need
You don't need to be a developer to set up this integration. Follow this simple guide to get started:
- A Relevance AI account
- An Airtable account with access to the base and table you'd like to use
- Authorization (you'll connect securely using OAuth—no sensitive info stored manually)
Security & Reliability
This integration enables seamless interaction with Instapaper's API, allowing you to programmatically save and manage web content for later reading. The integration provides two main functionalities: making authorized API calls to Instapaper's endpoints and adding URLs to your Instapaper account with custom metadata.
Key benefits include OAuth-based secure authentication, simplified URL saving with optional metadata, and flexible API access for custom implementations.
To get started, ensure you have an active Instapaper account and the necessary OAuth credentials with `pipedream-instapaper-read-write` permissions. You will also need API access tokens obtained through OAuth authentication.
For installation, set up your authentication with the following configuration:
const config = { oauth_account_id: "YOUR_INSTAPAPER_OAUTH_ID", oauth_permission_type: "pipedream-instapaper-read-write" };
Next, configure the base settings:
const baseConfig = { base_url: "https://www.instapaper.com", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" } };
To add a URL to Instapaper, use the following code:
const addUrl = { oauth_account_id: "YOUR_OAUTH_ID", url: "https://example.com/article", title: "Optional Custom Title", selection: "Optional description or excerpt" };
For custom API calls, you can structure your request like this:
const apiCall = { oauth_account_id: "YOUR_OAUTH_ID", method: "GET", path: "/api/1/bookmarks/list", headers: { "Custom-Header": "value" } };
Common use cases include saving an article with a custom title or fetching saved articles. For example, to save an article:
const saveArticle = { oauth_account_id: "YOUR_OAUTH_ID", url: "https://example.com/article", title: "Custom Title", selection: "Article excerpt or description" };
To fetch saved articles, use:
const fetchArticles = { oauth_account_id: "YOUR_OAUTH_ID", method: "GET", path: "/api/1/bookmarks/list" };
In case of troubleshooting, common issues include authentication errors, API request failures, and URL addition failures. Ensure your OAuth credentials are correct and that you are using the proper request methods.
For best practices, implement error handling, validate data before submission, and monitor API usage limits to ensure smooth operation.
This guide covers the basic implementation of the Instapaper integration. For more detailed information about specific endpoints or advanced features, refer to the official Instapaper API documentation.
No training on your data
Your data remains private and is never utilized for model training purposes.
Security first
We never store anything we don’t need to. The inputs or outputs of your tools are never stored.
To get the most out of the Instapaper + Relevance AI integration without writing code:
- Start with a clear Instapaper account: Organize your bookmarks with meaningful titles and descriptions for easier retrieval.
- Utilize custom metadata: When saving URLs, include custom titles and selections to enhance context and searchability.
- Connect securely: Ensure you use the correct OAuth credentials and permissions during setup to avoid authentication issues.
- Test API calls: Validate your API requests with sample data before implementing them in production to catch potential errors early.
- Monitor API usage: Keep an eye on your API call limits and implement caching strategies to optimize performance and reduce unnecessary requests.
