contentful-export-aws

This is a fork of the Contentful Export Tool to write the Contentful backup to AWS S3 instead of a local file system.

Usage

$ npm install @ewarren/contentful-export-aws

const contentfulExport = require('contentful-export')

const options = {
  spaceId: '<space_id>',
  managementToken: '<content_management_api_key>',
  awsAccessKey: '<aws_access_key',
  awsSecret: '<aws_secret>',
  awsRegion: 'us-east-1|<aws_region>',
  awsBucket: '<aws_bucket>',
  ...
};

(async function() {
  await contentfulExport(options);

  console.log('Completed export');
})();

Contentful export tool (Original README)

Contentful provides a content infrastructure for digital teams to power content in websites, apps, and devices. Unlike a CMS, Contentful was built to integrate with the modern software stack. It offers a central hub for structured content, powerful management and delivery APIs, and a customizable web app that enable developers and content creators to ship digital products faster.

This is a library that help you backup your Content Model, Content and Assets or move them to a new Contentful space. It will support Roles & Permissions in a future version.

To import your exported data, please refer to the contentful-import repository.

❗ Usage as CLI

We moved the CLI version of this tool into our Contentful CLI. This allows our users to use and install only one single CLI tool to get the full Contentful experience.

Please have a look at the Contentful CLI export command documentation to learn more about how to use this as command line tool.

☁️ Installation

npm install contentful-export

✋ Usage

const contentfulExport = require('contentful-export')

const options = {
  spaceId: '<space_id>',
  managementToken: '<content_management_api_key>',
  ...
}

contentfulExport(options)
  .then((result) => {
    console.log('Your space data:', result)
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log('Oh no! Some errors occurred!', err)
  })

Querying

To scope your export, you are able to pass query parameters. All search parameters of our API are supported as documented in our API documentation.

const contentfulExport = require('contentful-export')

const options = {
  spaceId: '<space_id>',
  managementToken: '<content_management_api_key>',
  queryEntries: 'content_type=<content_type_id>'
}

contentfulExport(options)
...

The Export tool also support multiple inline queries.

const contentfulExport = require('contentful-export')

const options = {
  spaceId: '<space_id>',
  managementToken: '<content_management_api_key>',
  queryEntries: [
    'content_type=<content_type_id>',
    'sys.id=<entry_id>'
  ]
}

contentfulExport(options)
...

queryAssets uses the same syntax as queryEntries

Export an environment

const contentfulExport = require('contentful-export')

const options = {
  spaceId: '<space_id>',
  managementToken: '<content_management_api_key>',
  environmentId: '<environment_id>'
}

contentfulExport(options)
...
