Exports Asana projects along with their resources such as tasks, stories and attachments and saves as json in a tree structure making it easy to query with tools like jq and import into other tools like Jira.
From pypi:
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip install asana-exporter
From snap:
sudo snap install asana-exporter
From source:
sudo apt install python3-pip
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
The first action is to extract information from Asana using the API. To do this you will need to generate a Personal Access Token from the web UI - see https://developers.asana.com/docs/personal-access-token for instructions on how to do this.
Once you have a token, run this tool as follows to extract data. A team name and workspace are required (see https://developers.asana.com/docs/workspaces - this is usually your organisation name). Projects are extracted in the context of a team. You can extract multiple teams' projects into the same archive by running the tool multiple times with different teams.
If you want to start by getting a list of available teams you can do:
asana-exporter --token TOKEN --workspace WORKSPACE --export-path EXPORT_PATH --list-teams
Now you can choose a team and extract all of its projects:
asana-exporter --token TOKEN --workspace WORKSPACE --export-path EXPORT_PATH --team TEAM
If you do not want all projects you can filter project names:
asana-exporter --token TOKEN --workspace WORKSPACE --export-path EXPORT_PATH --team TEAM --project-filter "My\s+.+roject"
Once complete, your data will be under EXPORT_PATH and you can query it e.g.
List all teams found:
asana-exporter --export-path EXPORT_PATH --list-teams
List all extracted projects for a given team:
asana-exporter --token TOKEN --workspace WORKSPACE --export-path EXPORT_PATH --team "My Team" --list-projects
List all extracted tasks for a given project:
asana-exporter --token TOKEN --workspace WORKSPACE --export-path EXPORT_PATH --team "My Team" --list-project-tasks "My Project"
