## Response Format

All responses are JSON. Bookmark object:

```json
{
  "id": 1,
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "title": "Example",
  "description": "Description",
  "notes": "Personal notes",
  "is_archived": false,
  "unread": false,
  "shared": false,
  "tag_names": ["tag1", "tag2"],
  "date_added": "2020-09-26T09:46:23.006313Z",
  "date_modified": "2020-09-26T16:01:14.275335Z"
}
```

## Common Patterns

**Save current page for later:**
```bash
./scripts/linkding-api.sh create "$URL" --tags "toread" --unread
```

**Quick search and display:**
```bash
./scripts/linkding-api.sh bookmarks --query "keyword" --limit 10 | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.title) - \(.url)"'
```

**Bulk tag update:** Update via API PATCH with new tag_names array.
