# Bookmarks Html To Csv — REST API endpoint `bookmarks-html-to-csv`

Convert a browser bookmarks.html export from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari or any other browser that writes the Netscape bookmark format into CSV, one row per link. Each row carries the folder path flattened with " / ", the title, the URL, and the ADD_DATE and LAST_MODIFIED stamps as ISO-8601 when the export has them. Favicon data stored in the ICON attribute is never written to the CSV and no favicon is ever fetched. Nothing is checked against the network, so a dead link is reported exactly as the export stored it. The browser page accepts a 10 MB file; the API and MCP surfaces cap a request at 1 MB, so a very large export belongs on the page.
