PSA: Pocket is deleting all user data in Oct 2025 – backup your saved articles

As some of you may know, Pocket is shutting down and deleting all user data on October 2025: https://getpocket.com/farewell

However what you may not know is they don't provide any way to export your bookmark tags or the article text archived using their Permanent Library feature that premium users paid for.

In many cases the original URLs have long since gone down and the only remaining copy of these articles is the text that Pocket saved.

Out of frustration with their useless developer API and CSV exports I reverse engineered their web app APIs and built a mini tool to help extract all data properly, check it out: https://pocket.archivebox.io

The hosted version has a $15 one-time fee because it took me a lot of work to build this and it can take a few hours to run on my server due to needing to work around Pocket ratelimits, but it's completely open source if you want to run it for free: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/pocket-exporter (MIT License)

There are also other tools floating around Github that can help you export just the bookmark URL list, but whatever you end up using, just make sure you export the data you care about before October!
