I want to merge JSON in Scrapbox.

When importing into Scrapbox, if you don’t want to overwrite and lose content, you have to export first, merge locally, and then import

• export

  • POST to https://scrapbox.io/api/page-data/export/PROJECT_NAME.json.
    • request
      • It’s loaded with connect.sid.
        • see Tapping Scrapbox’s private project API
        • Payload {"metadata":false}.
          • If you make it true, it will be the one with the update date and time for each line.
      • The request header has X-CSRF-TOKEN, do we need to get and load this in some way?
      • Sounds like you need both.
      • curl -X POST https://scrapbox.io/api/page-data/export/PROJECT_NAME.json -b connect.sid=SECRET_ID -H "X-CSRF-TOKEN: ..." -o export.json
        • Now I could download it.
    • response
      • UI-wise, a “download” button is created and then clicked.
        • I thought the file was generated on the server side and it would be a link to the file.
        • But the response is returning JSON for the entire project.
      • The button is <a href="blob:https://scrapbox.io/446e...." download="nishio.json" ... >Click to download... </a>
      • I guess they make a blob and let you download it as a file.
        • URL.createObjectURL(new Blob(...)) Like …
        • Blob - Web API | MDN

• merge

  • afterwards

• import

  • If page deletion occurs, the project must be deleted once
    • This is pending.
  • Displays how many pages will be imported when the file to be imported is specified.
    • I thought I was sending it to the server, but no request was sent.
    • You’re checking with JS at the client.
  • POST https://scrapbox.io/api/page-data/import/PROJECT_NAME.json
  • This is also loaded with connect.sid and X-CSRF-TOKEN
  • It looks like you are just sending the json contents as Form Data.
    • name: undefined, but I guess this means it doesn’t matter because it is not used even if it is not specified.
    • -F "jsonfile=@path/to/jsonfile.json" I wonder if I can do it with -F "jsonfile=@path/to/jsonfile.json".
