trello-full-backup 0.2.1

Backup everything from Trello

Python 3 script to backup everything from Trello.

The script does a backup of:

• boards, open and closed, as json files

• lists, open and archived, as json files

• cards, open and archived, as json files

• attachments, downloaded as raw files

The script also creates a folder tree structure corresponding to the way data is organized. This is to make it more convenient to navigate locally between folders, as it mimics the flow you have when using the web and mobile apps.

Here is an example of what the tree structure looks like:

2015-11-12_23-28-36_backup/
└── me
    └── A Test Board
        ├── 0_To Do
        │   ├── 0_Task3
        │   │   ├── attachments
        │   │   │   └── 0_chessboard.png
        │   │   ├── card.json
        │   │   └── description.md
        │   └── 1_Task4
        │       ├── card.json
        │       └── description.md
        ├── 1_In Progress
        │   └── 0_Task2
        │       ├── card.json
        │       └── description.md
        ├── 2_Done
        │   └── 0_Task1
        │       ├── attachments
        │       ├── card.json
        │       └── description.md
        └── A Test Board_full.json

• Lists and cards have their names prefixed by their position to keep the order

• For each card:

• The description is saved to a separate Markdown file

• The attachments are downloaded to a separate folder

• The rest stays in the json file

Install

pip install trello-full-backup

Usage

Make sure the environment variables TRELLO_API_KEY and TRELLO_TOKEN are correctly set.

• To get the API key: https://trello.com/app-key

• To get the token: https://trello.com/1/authorize?scope=read&expiration=never&name=backup&key=REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_API_KEY&response_type=token

Then you can run the following commands:

export TRELLO_API_KEY=yourapikey
export TRELLO_TOKEN=yourtoken

And execute the script:

trello-full-backup

By default the script creates a folder with the current date as a name. Example: 2015-11-12_18-57-56_backup

You can specify your own destination directory, but the script does not create the intermediate directories in case they don’t exist:

trello-full-backup -d path/to/dir

Options

trello-full-backup -h

usage: trello-full-backup [-h] [-d [DEST]] [-B] [-L] [-C] [-o] [-a ATTACHMENT_SIZE]
