Does anyone have a working Python or Bash (curl) script that uses ETAPI?

Hi all

I know this project is out of maintenance, but maybe someone follows this.

I have spent a lot of time trying to get a simple Python / bash script to perform a simple Trilium ETAPI task, and I am failing miserably. I got in a loop of "router not found" or "authorization failed". Then I deleted all my code and asked AI - to my satisfaction, AI fails, too :)

So if someone has a simple working script that reads one single note using ETAPI key (or any other way to access) I'll gladly accept it as a starting point

Thanks

You can try my module https://github.com/Nriver/trilium-py

Thank you, Nriver.
I've seen your module before, but it looks above my knowledge, too. Also, I get an error "python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully" while installing it (in venv), so I gave up early as I didn't have much time to solve issues :)

Hi @SomwareHR ,

I would appreciate it if you gave TriliumNext a try.

Here's a Bash script that uses curl to download the content of a note:

#!/usr/bin/bash

# Configuration
TOKEN=z1vA4fkGxjOR_ZXLrZeqHEFOv65yV3882iFCRtNIK9k9iWrHliITNSeQ=
SERVER=http://localhost:8080

# Download a note by ID
NOTE_ID="i6ra4ZshJhgN"
curl "$SERVER/etapi/notes/$NOTE_ID/content" -H "Authorization: $TOKEN" 

Don't forget to update the TOKEN (in Settings -> ETAPI), SERVER (including protocol) and NOTE_ID to a note ID that exists on your server.
