Using Hoarder with SingleFile Extension

Hoarder supports being a destination for the SingleFile extension. This has the benefit of allowing you to use the singlefile extension to hoard links as you're seeing them in the browser. This is perfect for websites that don't like to get crawled, has annoying cookie banner or require authentication.

Setup

1. Install the SingleFile extension.
2. In the extension settings, select Destinations.
3. Select upload to a REST Form API.
4. In the URL, insert the address: https://YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS/api/v1/bookmarks/singlefile.
5. In the authorization token field, paste an API key that you can get from your hoarder settings.
6. Set data field name to file.
7. Set URL field name to url.

Now, go to any page and click the singlefile extension icon. Once it's done with the upload, the bookmark should show up in your hoarder instance. Note that the singlefile extension doesn't show any progress on the upload. Given that archives are typically large, it might take 30+ seconds until the upload is done and starts showing up in Hoarder.

Recommended settings

In the singlefile extension, you probably will want to change the following settings for better experience:

• Stylesheets > compress CSS content: on
• Stylesheets > group duplicate stylesheets together: on
• HTML content > remove frames: on

Also, you most likely will want to change the default MAX_ASSET_SIZE_MB in hoarder to something higher, for example 100.

info

Currently, we don't support screenshots for singlefile uploads, but this will change in the future.
