trello-export

There are existing Trello CLIs, e.g.

• mheap/trello-cli: Command line client for Trello https://github.com/mheap/trello-cli
• Trello Command Line Interface (CLI) - Confluence https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TCLI/overview
• qcam/3llo: 3llo - Trello interactive CLI aplication https://github.com/qcam/3llo

However, currently they do not seem to be able to export Trello boards to JSON. In the web UI, you can go to

Board menu > More > Print and Export > JSON

to download JSON of the board.

Installation

pip install py-trello
git clone https://github.com/edtechhub/trello-export.git
cd trello-export

Setup

Add the api_key in config.json. Can be found from https://trello.com/1/appKey/generate

./trello-export.py --help
./trello-export.py --authenticate
./trello-export.py --token TOKEN

Usage

List boards (the above apps can do that)

trello-export --list

Export board as json

trello-export --board=board_id

or

trello-export --all

Note: You will get up to 1000 actions ('card history').
