What is Reader Server: Secure & Scalable Content Delivery?
Reader Server acts as an intermediary layer that securely transforms your Readwise Reader documents into accessible API resources. Think of it as a bridge between your private knowledge repository and the tools/apps that need to consume that content. It’s designed to keep your data locked down while enabling frictionless access for approved services.
How to use Reader Server: Secure & Scalable Content Delivery?
First off, you’ll need to install the server component via standard package managers. Configure authentication tokens from your Readwise account, then define API endpoints matching your use case. Most users start by setting up basic read access before gradually adding advanced permissions. Pro tip: Use environment variables for sensitive credentials instead of hardcoding.
