Command Line Examples To Export Content

Export Content to a Package ZIP

In this section, we will see how to export binaries and documents from the Demo Application.

After running the Demo Application, let's export binaries and documents with the following ExecutionParams JSON file. 

$ cat export-params.json
{
  binaries: {
    queries: [
      '/jcr:root/content//element(*,hippo:document)[@jcr:primaryType=\'hippogallery:imageset\' or @jcr:primaryType=\'hippogallery:exampleAssetSet\']'
    ]
  },
  documents: {
    queries: [
      '/jcr:root/content/documents//element(*,hippo:document)'
    ]
  }
}
          
$ curl -i \
    -F "params=@export-params.json" \
    -u admin:admin \
    -o exim.zip \
    http://localhost:8080/cms/ws/exim/export

...
          
$ unzip -l exim.zip

You can also pass paramsJson form parameter instead of params file attachment: 

$ curl -i \
    -F "paramsJson={ documents: { queries: [ '/jcr:root/content/documents//element(*,hippo:document)' ] } }" \
    -u admin:admin \
    -o exim.zip \
    http://localhost:8080/cms/ws/exim/export

...

You got a content package ZIP file (e.g, exim.zip) based on the ExecutionParams!
