Dates

There are four different date states: added, published, bookmarked, and archived.

  • Added is the date the item was added to the account.
  • Published is the date the item was published. This information is not always available, if it's not then the date of the feed item or the added date are used as fallback, in order.
  • Bookmarked is the date the user bookmarked the item. Is only available if the item was bookmarked once. Therefore sorting by bookmarked date is only possible in the library.
  • Archived is the date the user archived or dismissed the item. Is only available if the item was archived or dismissed once. Therefore sorting by archived date is only possible in the archive.
