bookmarkarchiver
Python script that archives all of your bookmarks on the Internet Archive. Supports all major browsers.
bookmarkarchiver uses the official Save Page Now API. Anonymous users are limited to 4,000 requests per day, which should be enough to save around 200 websites. If you create a free account to the Internet Archive and log in with Chrome, Chromium, or Firefox, your single-day request limit increases to 100,000 and you should be able to save approximately 5000 websites.
As for dependencies, bookmarkarchiver uses Richard Penman's browsercookie module with this patch applied. It also uses the Python requests library.
