I know this is probably an error on my side rather than with Trello itself, but I assumed that if I posted the question, the answers would be useful for other Trello users too.

I'm trying to use curl to access the Trello JSON export (in order to create a cron job that backups our Trello board every night), but I must be doing something wrong.

1) Perform a login, and store the Trello cookies.

curl -v --user [USER]:[PASSWD] -c cookies.txt --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.6.872.0 Safari/535.2 UNTRUSTED/1.0 3gpp-gba UNTRUSTED/1.0" https://trello.com/authenticate

2) Invoke the JSON export url, using the stored cookies.

curl -v -b cookies.txt --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.6.872.0 Safari/535.2 UNTRUSTED/1.0 3gpp-gba UNTRUSTED/1.0" [TRELLO JSON EXPORT URL]

Result: unauthorized error.

If anyone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it.

You'd get the unauthorized error if the cookies were wrong, or the user didn't have permissions on the board you were trying to get. Also ... this would probably be a lot easier to do with the Trello API (trello.com/api and trello.com/docs) – Daniel LeCheminant Feb 6 at 15:16
