Pinboard offers an archive feature:

If you can get me a sample pinboard export to look at, I'll whip up a regex that makes it work.

Oh, thanks!

There's three backup formats: XML (same as Delicious v1 API), HTML (legacy Netscape format almost everyone can read) and JSON.

I can get back with an XML file later. There's also an API that might be of interest.

Here's someone who blogged about that:

The question was asked if you can use your API endpoint URL (https://[pinboardusername]:[pinboardpassword]@api.pinboard.i...) straight into ifttt. Maciej confirmed that it should work, the problem is that you’re essentially storing your login credentials in a 3rd party service, and you don’t know if they’re storing and transmitting it securely.

Here's what the XML files look like:

Shouldn't be too terribly difficult to modify since all Pocket does is provide a list of URL's same as pinboard.

There is a PR with pinboard JSON support now.
