# Raindrop.io API Skill
Manage bookmarks via Raindrop.io REST API.
## Prerequisites
User must have `RAINDROP_TOKEN` env var set. If not configured, instruct them to:
1. Create app at https://app.raindrop.io/settings/integrations
2. Generate test token
3. Add `export RAINDROP_TOKEN="..."` to `~/.zshrc.local`
## Authentication

```
Authorization: Bearer $RAINDROP_TOKEN
```
## Base URL
```
https://api.raindrop.io/rest/v1/
```
## Helper Script

```bash
./scripts/raindrop.sh GET /collections
./scripts/raindrop.sh POST /raindrop '{"link":"https://example.com","pleaseParse":{}}'
./scripts/raindrop.sh PUT /raindrop/123 '{"tags":["new-tag"]}'
