ClockifyExport

The tool exports data from a Clockify shared report, groups the entries for the same day, and saves it as JSON or CSV with the following fields:

• Date: Date of the grouped time entry. Non-parsed string as it appears in the Clockify shared report CSV.
• Group: Project or task of the grouped time entry.
• Hours: Sum of time for the grouped time entry, expressed as total hours (with decimal part).
• Description: All descriptions for the grouped time entry, each in its own line.

You need the following information from Clockify to invoke the tool:

• report ID: it's the final part of the URL when viewing the shared report in the browser, e.g. https://app.clockify.me/shared/YourReportId
• API key: you can generate it on the Advanced tab of your Clockify Preferences page (don't share it with anyone as it gives access to all your data in Clockify)

Installation

You can install the latest version as a global .NET tool from the NuGet Gallery with the following command:

dotnet tool install -g DamirsCorner.ClockifyExport

Alternatively, you can download the NuGet package from the GitHub Releases page and install that package with the following command:

dotnet tool install -g DamirsCorner.ClockifyExport --add-source "."

The command assumes the downloaded package is located in the current directory. If not, change the --add-source value to point at the directory containing the package.

Troubleshooting

In the project repository (in the .bruno folder), you can find a Bruno collection with a few API calls. Use them to test the API key and report ID values you are providing to the tool.

• Get user: Returns your user data. Use it to confirm that your API key (apiKey secret in Bruno environment) is working.
• Get workspaces: Returns a list of your workspaces.
• Get shared reports: Returns a list of shared reports in a workspace (workspaceId secret in Bruno environment: set its value to id from the Get workspaces call).
• Generate shared report: Returns a generated shared report in CSV file (reportId secret in Bruno environment: set its value to id from the Get shared reports call). Set the date range to your liking. The same call is used by the tool.
