[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green.svg)](https://github.com/bcongdon/todoist-to-sqlite/blob/master/LICENSE)

Save data from Todoist to a SQLite database. Supports saving tasks, projects, filters, notes, labels, and completed tasks.

(Some Todoist features require Premium, like fetching completed tasks)

## How to install

$ pip install todoist-to-sqlite

## Authentication

In the Todoist client, go to the [Integrations tab](https://todoist.com/prefs/integrations) of Settings and issue/copy your personal API token. Run this command and paste in your API token:

$ todoist-to-sqlite auth

This will create a file called `auth.json` in your current directory containing the required value. To save the file at
a different path or filename, use the `--auth=myauth.json` option.

## Saving Current Todoist Data

The `sync` command retrieves all "active" data associated with your Todoist account.

$ todoist-to-sqlite sync todoist.db

This includes: uncompleted tasks, projects, labels, filters, and notes.

## Saving Completed Tasks

The `completed-tasks` command saves all completed tasks from your Todoist account. This may take a long time to download for active Todoist users.

$ todoist-to-sqlite completed-tasks todoist.db

`completed-tasks` also will sync any associated metadata (i.e. archived projects) associated with completed tasks.

Note: This command requires Todoist Premium due to limitations of their API.

### `from_date` and `to_date`

You can specify `--from_date` and `--to_date` to place boundaries on the time range that `todoist-to-sqlite` will fetch completed tasks from.

```
$ todoist-to-sqlite completed-tasks todoist.db \
--to_date 2020-12-01 \
--from_date 2020-12-30
```
