Re-running Script Filters




Quick Example
Here’s how to show recent Pinboard.in posts
in Alfred.
Create a new workflow in Alfred’s preferences. Add a Script Filter with
Language /usr/bin/python and paste the following into the Script
field (changing API_KEY):
import sys
from workflow import Workflow, ICON_WEB, web

API_KEY = 'your-pinboard-api-key'

def main(wf):
url = 'https://api.pinboard.in/v1/posts/recent'
params = dict(auth_token=API_KEY, count=20, format='json')
r = web.get(url, params)
r.raise_for_status()
for post in r.json()['posts']:
wf.add_item(post['description'], post['href'], arg=post['href'],
uid=post['hash'], valid=True, icon=ICON_WEB)
wf.send_feedback()


if __name__ == u"__main__":
wf = Workflow()
sys.exit(wf.run(main))
Add an Open URL action to your workflow with {query} as the URL,
connect your Script Filter to it, and you can now hit ENTER on a
Pinboard item in Alfred to open it in your browser.


Installation
Note: If you intend to distribute your workflow to other users, you
should include Alfred-Workflow (and other Python libraries your workflow
requires) within your workflow’s directory as described below. Do not
ask users to install anything into their system Python. Python installations
cannot support multiple versions of the same library, so if you rely on
globally-installed libraries, the chances are very good that your workflow
will sooner or later break—or be broken by—some other software doing the
same naughty thing.

With pip
You can install Alfred-Workflow directly into your workflow with:
# from within your workflow directory
pip install --target=. Alfred-Workflow
You can install any other library available on the Cheese Shop the
same way. See the pip documentation for more information.


From source
Download the alfred-workflow-X.X.X.zip file from the GitHub releases
page and extract the ZIP to the root directory of your workflow (where
info.plist is).
Alternatively, you can download the source code from the
GitHub repository and copy the workflow subfolder to the root
directory of your workflow.
Your workflow directory should look something like this (where
yourscript.py contains your workflow code and info.plist is
the workflow information file generated by Alfred):
Your Workflow/
info.plist
icon.png
workflow/
__init__.py
background.py
notify.py
Notify.tgz
update.py
version
web.py
workflow.py
yourscript.py
etc.
