How to archive multiple articles on Instapaper at once

automationinstapaper

Instapaper is useful for automatically sending articles to my Kindle. However, once they're sent they still remain in my reading list, unarchived. I'm looking for a way to automatically archive them, or to mass archive all articles older than a certain date at once.

Best Answer

I settled on a quick JS solution:

$("a.js_archive_single.action_link>span.ipicon.ipicon-archive").each(
    function(){
        $(this).click()
    }
)

This automatically clicks on all archive buttons on the page.

Warning: this will archive articles on all older pages as well (since Instapaper automatically loads more articles when you archive some).
