TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that Siegel's argument cannot provide an algorithm for determining all the integer points on the curve of genus ≥ 1, and that such an algorithm cannot be found in the case of curves of genus 1.
Abstract
1. Introduction. A well-known theorem of Siegel(5) states that there exist only a finite number of integer points on any curve of genus ≥ 1. Siegel's proof, published in 1929, depended, inter alia, on his earlier work concerning rational approximations to algebraic numbers and on Weil's recently established generalization of Mordell's finite basis theorem. Both of these possess a certain non-effective character and thus it is clear that Siegel's argument cannot provide an algorithm for determining all the integer points on the curve. The purpose of the present paper is to establish such an algorithm in the case of curves of genus 1.

Computing integral points on elliptic curves

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the number of integral points on an elliptic curve E over an algebraic number field K is bounded by a constant depending only on the rank of E over K and on K. This conjecture was proved by Silverman [Si1] for elliptic curves E with integral modular invariant j over K.
