Readwise Integration

[Positron]

Readwise is a great tool that has integrations with other note apps like Notion, Evernote…etc and helps integrate highlights from different sources.

I think it would be awesome to have an Obsidian integration with Readwise to sync highlights automatically.

The Readwise team just released an expanded API that could be found here :

The Readwise zip arrives in my download folder, it then runs the Hazel workflow. I have created an inbox in Obsidian for files that come from outside. The files arrive in the inbox in a Readwise folder. I then process is it from within Obsidian however I want it.
