  "github_readme_excerpt": "# chrome-export [![Build status](https://github.com/bdesham/chrome-export/actions/workflows/main.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/bdesham/chrome-export/actions/workflows/main.yaml)\n\n*Formerly called py-chrome-bookmarks*\n\nPython scripts to convert [Google Chrome]\u2019s bookmarks and history to the [standard HTML-ish bookmarks file format][format].\n\n[Google Chrome]: http://www.google.com/chrome/\n[format]: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753582(v=vs.85).aspx\n\nThe functionality to do this for bookmarks is already built into Chrome (select Bookmarks\u0026nbsp;\u2192 Bookmarks Manager, then click \u201cOrganize\u201d and select \u201cExport Bookmarks\u2026\u201d). I wrote this script to be able to perform this conversion in a cron script.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Homebrew\n\nIf you have [Homebrew] installed, you can install these scripts with\n\n    brew install chrome-export\n\n[Homebrew]: https://brew.sh\n\n### Nix\n\nIf you\u2019re using the [Nix] package manager, run\n\n    nix-env -i -A nixpkgs.chrome-export\n\nIf you use NixOS, run\n\n    nix-env -i -A nixos.chrome-export\n\n[Nix]: https://nixos.org/nix/\n\n### Manual installation\n\nDownload the .zip or .tar.gz file for the [latest release], extract it, and move the `export-chrome-bookmarks` and/or `export-chrome-history` files to somewhere on your PATH. You may also want to move `export-chrome-bookmarks.1` and `export-chrome-history.1` from the `man_pages` directory to somewhere on your MANPATH (e.g. `/usr/local/share/man/man1`).\n\n[latest release]: https://github.com/bdesham/chrome-export/releases/latest\n\n## Usage\n\nThese scripts require Python, either version 2.7.x or else version 3.2 or later. They should work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.\n\n### Bookmarks script\n\nThe usage is\n\n    export-chrome-bookmarks [input_file] output_file\n\nIf you do not specify an input file, the script will try to open the default Chrome bookmarks file.\n\nThe script will ignore URLs that start with \u201cjavascript:\u201d.\n\n### History script\n\nThe usage is\n\n    export-chrome-history [input_file] output_f",
