Convert Todoist projects and items to org-mode

org-todoist

Converts Todoist to an org-mode file. Projects will be top-level items, then items.

Usage

It’s a Python program using setuptools, to building/installation/… should be done through setup.py. Alternatively, just use Nix: git clone … && nix-build, then result/bin/org-todoist.

You need to create an API token for this to work and that needs to be either stored inside an environment variable TODOIST_TOKEN or inside $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/org-todoist/.

Then call the program, without any arguments. It will write the org-file to stdout, so you can redirect it.

To call this from emacs, one ugly way would be:

(global-set-key
 (kbd "s-<f5>")
 (lambda
   ()
   (interactive)
   (progn
     (message "Updating via todoist...")
     (call-process-shell-command "/path/to/todoist/org-todoist > /tmp/todoist.org")
     (message "Done!")
     )
   )
 )

For this to work, you need to adapt the path to todoist and add /tmp/todoist.org to org-agenda-files, of course.
