Pocket API: Existing Developers

Below is some important information to help existing Pocket (or Read It Later) developers get started with the new Pocket API:

If you do nothing, your current apps will continue to work. However, you will not be able to take advantage of the benefits or new features of the new Pocket API.

Step 1: Create a new app

Creating a new account will give you the new platform consumer key that replaces the API key you used previously.

Step 2: Migrate your code to the new API

You will need to implement the new Authentication API.

Step 3: Review the new features of the Pocket API

First, check out our blog post announcing the new Pocket API.

Then, dig into the v3 API documentation:

  • v3 API: Add
  • v3 API: Modify
  • v3 API: Retrieve

We are here to help

We've started a Developer FAQ with common questions. If you still have questions, you can reach us any time at api@getpocket.com.
