Is there a way to access the my clippings kindle from amazon website?

Tags:

amazon

kindle

Context; I use kindle to read pdf files which i then hight passages from and add notes as part of research work flow. On the amazon website i can see the highlights for books i've purchased but not any of the pdf docs i have sent to my kindle using the 'convert' method of email a document in.

I can manually transfer these using a USB cable and copying 'My Clippings.txt' file.

Question: Does the 'My Clippings.txt' get stored in the cloud when the kindle syncs, if so is there an API or means of accessing this.

Reason for question: If i lose the kindle do i lose all notes i haven't backed up?

Thanks in advance

Through this URL, you'll get all your books' highlights: https://read.amazon.com/notebook

Unfortunately I can't find a page where we can get all the highlights. It is only available per book.
