Migrate from a third service
============================

From Pocket
-----------

Create a new application on Pocket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To import your data from Pocket, we use the Pocket API. You need to create
a new application on their developer website to continue.

* Create a new application `on the developer website <https://getpocket.com/developer/apps/new>`_
* Fill in the required fields: application name, application description,
  permissions (only **retrieve**), platform (**web**), accept the terms of service
  and submit your new application

Pocket will give you a **Consumer Key** (for example, `49961-985e4b92fe21fe4c78d682c1`).
You need to configure the ``pocket_consumer_key`` into the ``Import`` section in the ``Internal settings`` menu.

Now, all is fine to migrate from Pocket.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Click on ``Import`` link in the menu, on ``Import contents`` in Pocket section
