Export for Todoist

A Node.js application to backup Todoist data as JSON or CSV.

Development

Quick Start

1. Create a Todoist App. On localhost use http://localhost:3000/todoist-export/ for both "App Service URL" and "OAuth Redirect URL".

2. Copy src/config.js.example to src/config.js and fill in the id and secret from the created app.

3. Install required packages (you can use npm instead of yarn):

yarn install

4. Start server:

yarn start

Refer to the API for more information.

Configure SSL

Todoist redirects to a HTTPS version of your OAuth Redirect URL, even if a HTTP URL is defined. To retrieve your Todoist backup, you can change the URL from HTTPS to HTTP in the browser address bar after authorization. You can also start the app as HTTPS server, after creating a self-signed SSL certificate and defining your certificate data in config.js:

ssl: {
    cert: fs.readFileSync('./ssl/fullchain.pem'),
    key: fs.readFileSync('./ssl/privkey.pem'),
    passphrase: 'ssl certificate passphrase'
}
