Trello Board Exporter

Exports Trello Board, Cards and attachments.

With a Trello 'free plan' we can only export a board or card to JSON... nothing else. For my personnal use, I wrote this python script to be able to easily extract boards, cards and attachments.

This script,

• exports Board to XLSX document
• exports all cards on the Board to DOCX or PDF documents
• exports all attachments

Requirements

• docxtpl (https://pypi.org/project/docxtpl/)

Configure

Get Trello api key and token

• Get your api key : https://trello.com/app-key
• Generate a (read only) token : https://trello.com/1/authorize?expiration=30days&scope=read&response_type=token&name=PersonalToken&key={YourAPIKey}

To revoke a token : https://trello.com/my/account

Create config.ini

config.ini is a basic configuration file containing:

• [Dates]: time zone and date format
• [TrelloApi]: api key, token, url
• [Proxy]: proxy configuration

• [Template]: docx template (export as docx) / html template (export as pdf)

Copy the config-sample.ini to config.ini

Create your card template.
