CLI

The Edicek CLI exports your saved cards to Markdown files on your machine - ready to read, grep, or feed into other tools and AI agents. It does one thing: export.

Install

Install the CLI globally with your package manager:

npm install -g edicek

pnpm add -g edicek

yarn global add edicek

Options

Option	Description	Default
`-t, --token <token>`	Your Personal access token. Required.	N/A
`-o, --output <path>`	Directory to write the Markdown files into.	`./.edicek`
`-w, --workspace <id>`	ID of the workspace to export.	First workspace

Export your cards

Run export with a Personal access token:

npx edicek export --token <your-token>

This pulls the cards in your workspace and writes each one as a Markdown file into a local ./.edicek folder, along with a README.

Step by step tutorial

The CLI authenticates with a Personal access token - the same kind the API uses. Create one in the web app.

Personal access tokens can currently be created only in the web app at my.edicek.com - not in the mobile or desktop apps.

Open your Profile

Click your user icon and choose Profile from the menu.

Go to Personal Access Tokens

On the Profile page, find the Personal Access Tokens section.

Create a token

Click Create, give it a name, and copy the token value.

Run the export with it

Pass the token to --token:

npx edicek export --token <your-token>

What you get

What each .md file holds depends on the card’s type - see the supported card types for what each one captures. Here’s a saved TikTok video:

One of the cheapest things we did in Japan turned out to be one of our favorite memories. For just $3, we got to make our own chopsticks and leave with a souvenir we'll actually use for years. #Japan #Kyoto #Chopsticks
