When logged into trello in a browser you can easily backup a board by hitting a URL like this: https://trello.com/board/replaceWithMyBoardId/my-board-name.json
I'd like to write a script that will go through a given set of boards and automatically archive the json export.
I've already got a developer key, and I've already got an oauth token. I can successfully go to https://api.trello.com/1/board/replaceWithMyBoardId?key=replaceWithMyKey&token=replaceWithMyToken but that only gives me basic board info. I want to get the full board export like I would through the browser.
Any ideas?

Backing up Trello boards Any board member can export a Trello board's contents at any time by going to the board menu, and then clicking on More, followed by Print and Export. The board's data will be exported to a JSON file. The main problem with this method of Trello Backup is, of course, that it is decentralized.
A: Trello maintains disaster recovery backups of their entire platform – and every account on it. These backups are updated regularly.
Trello Board Export From the menu on the right of your Board in Trello you can export to Excel (CSV) or JSON format. Exports include the main data from your cards, including any custom fields. As a starting point for getting data out of Trello and into Excel this is as good as any.
2020, and Trello is still without autosave. The biggest value in Trello is data, but you don't implement such an essential feature.
If you want to download .json files automatically for all your Trello.com boards, I wrote a small script that does it using the API: Trello-backup on Github
I setup the script to run as a daily task and all my valuable trello boards/cards/lists are automatically saved on my computer as JSON files. Good for peace of mind!
