Add more metadata

Open tangyuan233 opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Hi, is there any possible to set a sync location on obsidian vault and add more metadata like #highlights and source info(kindle, pocket, etc.), so dataview can work better with.

It would be awesome not only new notes but also all readwise notes can be downloaded via this plugin, so their formats can be unified

Thanks for this plugin! I used to use readwise2directory to sync my readwises to obsidian vault, now this becomes my favorite!

Hi @tangyuan233

This is going to be addressed by https://github.com/renehernandez/obsidian-readwise/issues/22

add more metadata like #highlights and source info(kindle, pocket, etc.), so dataview can work better with.

That's a good one. I have added a new issue for it: https://github.com/renehernandez/obsidian-readwise/issues/42

all readwise notes can be downloaded via this plugin, so their formats can be unified

That is currently blocked due to https://github.com/renehernandez/obsidian-readwise/issues/7

@tangyuan233 What is the source info field? I don't see any on https://readwise.io/api_deets. Do you mean the category field? If so, that one is already suppported

I'm not sure what's the name in api, but I used roam research and the source field is info like kindle, ibooks, api, something like that

I found out the source field in the Markdown exporter and I have asked the Readwise folks about it. Unfortunately, unless it is available in the API, there is nothing I can do

I have received an update from the Readwise folks. They have opened a ticket and will add the source field to the API in a future update
