This script lets you save more than 100 great long-form articles from 2012 to your Instapaper account, for reading offline. Great if you are going on holiday, or have a long plane ride.
The full list of articles was curated by Conor Friedersdorf of the Atlantic, and can be found on Byliner.com. I scraped it with ScraperWiki.
If you like these articles, you should subscribe to the Best of Journalism newsletter - $1.99/month for a weekly email with links to the best long-form articles around the web.
Please note: I have no affiliation with Conor Friedersdorf, the Best of Journalism, or Byliner.
Check out or download this repo to a local directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/annapowellsmith/instaconor.git
Then cd to that directory and run the script:
$ cd instaconor
$ python load2012.py
The script will ask for your Instapaper email or username, and your password if you have one. It will then automatically add all the articles to your account.
