export-wordpress-to-markdown

This is a script that imports WordPress posts and their images to Markdown files.

It will also export authors, categories and tags to JSON files. These will be linked to the exported posts.

Usage

The script is easy to use. It requires Node.js 18+ (lower versions might work, but aren't tested).

Once you've cloned the repository, you just need to follow the following steps:

1. Run npm install.
2. Update the apiUrl variable at the top of index.mjs with your the URL of your WordPress API.
3. Run npm start.

That's it. The script will create a folder called data where everything will be saved.
