Python Wrapper for [Password Manager CLI](https://bitwarden.com/help/cli/) for exporting bitwarden vaults with **attachments**.
This allows you to take a whole backup of your bitwarden vault, including organizations where you don't have access for admin/owner.
## Prerequisites
- [Bitwarden CLI](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/cli/#download-and-install)
- [python-poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation)
## Installation
Install with [pipx](https://github.com/pypa/pipx).
```bash
pipx install bitwarden-exporter
```
## Options
```bash
bitwarden-exporter --help
```
```text
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-l EXPORT_LOCATION, --export-location EXPORT_LOCATION
Bitwarden Export Location, Default: bitwarden_dump_<timestamp>.kdbx, This is a dynamic value, Just in case if it exists, it will be overwritten
-p EXPORT_PASSWORD, --export-password EXPORT_PASSWORD
Bitwarden Export Password, It is recommended to use a password file
-pf EXPORT_PASSWORD_FILE, --export-password-file EXPORT_PASSWORD_FILE
Bitwarden Export Password File, Mutually Exclusive with --export-password
--allow-duplicates, --no-allow-duplicates
Allow Duplicates entries in Export, In bitwarden each item can be in multiple collections, Default: --no-allow-duplicates
--tmp-dir TMP_DIR Temporary Directory to store temporary sensitive files, Make sure to delete it after the export, Default: /home/arpan/workspace/bitwarden-
exporter/bitwarden_dump_attachments
--verbose, --no-verbose
Enable Verbose Logging, This will print debug logs, THAT MAY CONTAIN SENSITIVE INFORMATION, Default: --no-verbose
```
## Roadmap
Make a cloud ready option for bitwarden zero touch backup
- Upload to cloud storage.
