Welcome to the forum @Dave_Lee!
Yep - I did exactly this a while back and it was difficult. They offer an export, but only in HTML format. I guess they’re trying to lock us in.
I had to resort to the Pocket API and despite being a fairly skilled integration developer, I ran into issues with their security model. They do not support oAuth (completely) which makes it impossible to fully authenticate and use the API from a web service (like Heroku) without jumping through many hoops.
The authentication documentation alone is quite a journey and they have the nerve to cite best practices. Here’s a best practice - how about implementing ALL of oAuth?
I can only imagine it’s a security issue (i.e. IFTTT is unable to process the authentication maybe). Perhaps a support request into IFTTT would be a good place to start.
You also have some integration nuances that may create issues with IFTTT (or any code-free platform). The Pocket API (which services like IFTTT must use) creates objects of varying types. For example, some artifacts are stored in Pocket without the images which are left to resolve by reference. Others are encapsulated in Pocket’s cloud. As such, you have to decide how you want to integrate Pocket content into airtable. Do you grab the resolved URI and title, or the “given” URI and title. Also, do you import all the images? How about tags, and embedded images?
This is just one item as represented by the API:
