Question: Consuming the exported JSON data
Do you have any guides / docs on how to consume the exported JSON?
Do we use https://github.com/doist/todoist-python or is there another client that can parse this data easily?
Hi @SgtPooki , thanks for the question.
The todoist-python
library is not for processing the JSON file - it's for directly interacting with Todoist data (read/write). For example, you could use it to create a similar export as todoist-export
does.
What is your exact goal? "Consuming" the JSON may be as easy as opening the file in a text editor. However, it's a lot of data, so you could also look for a "JSON visualizer" like the Online JSON Viewer: paste your JSON into the Text
tab and then switch to the Viewer
tab:
Here you can click through the UI to get the structure overview. For example, all todos are under items
.
For advanced insights you'll probably need to write a custom script, depending on what you're trying to achieve.
I think @SgtPooki meant how to restore the data @darekkay

If that's the case, then unfortunately I am not aware of any tool. You would need to write the code yourself to import a Todoist backup.
