In early 2019 the old api was shut down. While trying to get access to new API they suggested sncli which offers options to backup simplenote plus a whole lot more. I see it as a superset of what this project can do and still makes it simple to create backups.
- simplenote.py: This is the library that is used by sn.py.
- sn.py: The frontend command line interface.
Copy config.ini.default to config.ini and add your login information. Then run sn.py to get a backup of your entire simplenote database. Use the -o option to set the output file.
Currently it exports as JSON. It tries to be compatible with simplenote import but the format could always change. There's also experimental xml output (has to be enabled in source code)
