# timew-export(1)

export tracked time in JSON

## NAME

timew-export - export tracked time in JSON

## SYNOPSIS

```
timew export [ <id>... | ([<range>] [<tag>...]) ]
```

## DESCRIPTION

Exports all the tracked time in JSON format.

Supply either a list of interval IDs, or a range and/or tag filter (see [**timew-ranges**(7)](/timew-ranges/7.md) and [**timew-tags**(1)](/timew-tags/1.md)) to export only a subset of intervals.

The data is exported as a JSON array of interval objects, each containing the start time, end time, current id, tags, and annotation of the interval, if present.

## EXAMPLES

**Export all intervals**

Calling the `export` command without any arguments exports all tracked intervals in JSON format:

```
$ timew export
[
{"id":2,"start":"20231001T103000Z","end":"20231001T120000Z","tags":["work"],"annotation":"Project work"},
{"id":1,"start":"20231001T090000Z","end":"20231001T100000Z","tags":["work"],"annotation":"Morning meeting"},
]
```

In this example, only two intervals are present in the database. The output is sorted by start time, with the oldest interval first.

**Export intervals filtered by range and tag**

```
$ timew export from 2016-01-01 for 3wks tag1
...
```

**Export intervals by their ids**

```
$ timew export @1 @3 @7
...
```
