# Literal Export CLI Utility

This uses the [Literal](https://literal.club) [GraphQL API](https://literal.club/pages/api) to write your bookshelf items to a JSON file, and include reading start and end dates that aren’t included in the CSV export.

It prompts for your account email address and password in order to get a GraphQL token and make subsequent queries. (These credentials are not stored!)

```

❯ php literal-export

Writing JSON...

Done.

```

The slow part is where each book is queried for its reading start and end dates, which get folded into the resulting information.

This will write `literal-export.json`, with a single array of book objects:

```json

[

  {

    "title": "No Time to Spare",

    "subtitle": "Thinking about what Matters",

    "isbn10": "1328661598",

    "isbn13": "9781328661593",

    "publisher": null,

    "publishedDate": null,

    "authors":

    [

      "Ursula K. Le Guin"

    ],

    "pageCount": 240,

    "readingState": "FINISHED",

    "started": "2024-09-04",

    "finished": "2024-09-15"

  }

]

```
