Crmkit Backup

A runnable recipe: snapshot the whole CRM to JSON files. Needs CRMKIT_BASE_URL and a CRMKIT_TOKEN (a crmkit bearer token - get one via the email login: POST /auth/request → POST /auth/verify).

What it does

Pages through each collection with crmkit's keyset cursor (so it captures everything, not just the first page) and writes one JSON array per entity:

crmkit-backup-20260605-1400/
  contacts.json   companies.json   deals.json   activities.json

Requires curl and jq. The script lives beside this file as backup.sh.

Run it

export CRMKIT_BASE_URL=https://api.crmkit.ai
export CRMKIT_TOKEN=ck_...        # a crmkit bearer token (POST /auth/verify)
./backup.sh                       # -> ./crmkit-backup-<timestamp>/
./backup.sh /backups/crmkit       # or pick the output dir

Automate / adapt it

• Cron a nightly backup, then sync the folder to S3/Backblaze/etc.:

  30 2 * * *  CRMKIT_BASE_URL=… CRMKIT_TOKEN=… /path/backup.sh /backups/crmkit-$(date +\%F)
  

• Pipe a JSON file through jq -r to make a CSV for a spreadsheet.
• Scope the workspace by using a token minted for it (see the manual's workspace tokens). Activities are pulled up to the server's max page; widen if needed.
