#+RESULTS: :results: Tool to export your personal Rescuetime data :end:

TODO document this??

Note that this script only backs up last 30 days of data.

If you need to export all of your Resquetime data, a bit of extra work is required (pretty straightforward though!)

• Setting up

1. install with PIP

   • =pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/karlicoss/rescuexport=

   • for export functionality: append =[export]=

   • for optional extras for logging and faster json processing: append =[optional]=

   • or any combination of the above, e.g. =[export,optional]=

   • alternatively, use =git clone --recursive=, or =git pull && git submodules update --init=. After that, you can use =pip3 install --editable=.

• Exporting

#+begin_src python :dir src :results drawer :exports results import rescuexport.export as E; return E.make_parser().epilog #+end_src

#+RESULTS: :results:

Usage:

Recommended: create =secrets.py= keeping your api parameters, e.g.:

: key = "KEY"

After that, use:

: python3 -m rescuexport.export --secrets /path/to/secrets.py

That way you type less and have control over where you keep your plaintext secrets.

Alternatively, you can pass parameters directly, e.g.

: python3 -m rescuexport.export --key <key>

However, this is verbose and prone to leaking your keys/tokens/passwords in shell history.

I highly recommend checking exported files at least once just to make sure they contain everything you expect from your export. If not, please feel free to ask or raise an issue!
