## Quick Reference

# With metadata ./scripts/linkding-api.sh create "https://example.com" \ --title "Example Site" \ --description "A great resource" \ --tags "reference,docs"

# Archive immediately ./scripts/linkding-api.sh create "https://example.com" --archived ```

## Response Format

All responses are JSON. Bookmark object:

```json { "id": 1, "url": "https://example.com", "title": "Example", "description": "Description", "notes": "Personal notes", "is_archived": false, "unread": false, "shared": false, "tag_names": ["tag1", "tag2"], "date_added": "2020-09-26T09:46:23.006313Z", "date_modified": "2020-09-26T16:01:14.275335Z" } ```

## Common Patterns

**Save current page for later:** ```bash ./scripts/linkding-api.sh create "$URL" --tags "toread" --unread ```

**Quick search and display:** ```bash ./scripts/linkding-api.sh bookmarks --query "keyword" --limit 10 | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.title) - \(.url)"' ```

**Bulk tag update:** Update via API PATCH with new tag_names array.
