Hello everyone,
How to capture data from a web page to Org-mode ?
* What I need
I want to be able to capture different kind of information :
- Article, to read later
- Book, with all its metadata (title, author, subject, etc)
- Magazin, to buy later (title, editor, price, etc)
- IRL event, that I want to go
For each case, different kind of data is needed to be extracted from the
web page and passed to Org-capture.
* Capture Protocol
I know it exist an org-protocol for capture, but after reading the
manual (section 17.16.2 The capture protocol), there is something
I did not understand.
On the URL of the capture protocol, key value pairs can be specified.
But are they a predefined set of keys, independent to the capture
template, or are they related to the capture template special words (ex:
%a) ?
Is it possible, with Org-protocol, to pass data to be stored into org entry
properties, or an arbitrary string ?
* Firefox extension for Org capture
I have found 2 extensions for capturing to Org-mode from Firefox:
- Org Capture (by Kosta):
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/org-capture/
- org-protocol (by Wojciech Siewierski):
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/org-protocol/
Which one do you suggest ?
Best regards

PS:
I have seen a typo in the manual "17.16.2 The capture protocol":
https://orgmode.org/manual/The-capture-protocol.html
At the end of the first phrase, it miss a space between the "a" and
"capture". Instead of "a capture", we have "acapture".
