## Exporting Wekan board to JSON with Bash script

1) On Wekan grain, get Webkey like this:

```
https://api-URL.SUBDOMAIN.sandcats.io#APIKEY
```

2) Modity URL, SUBDOMAIN and APIKEY to this Bash script that exports board to file directly:

```
curl https://Bearer:APIKEY@api-URL.SUBDOMAIN.sandcats.io/api/boards/sandstorm/export?authToken=#APIKEY > wekanboard.json
```
For local Sandstorm install:
```
curl http://Bearer:APIKEY@api-URL.local.sandstorm.io:6080/api/boards/sandstorm/export?authToken=#APIKEY > wekanboard.json
```

## Python script, has more dependencies
