How to export all your Pingdom export checks

First of all, quickly generate a new read-only API token in https://my.pingdom.com/app/api-tokens

Then, use the following code to get a quick export of your Pingdom exports with name, hostname and path.

export PINGD_AUTH="[the api key you generated in step 1]"
for i in `curl -X GET https://api.pingdom.com/api/3.1/checks -H 'Authorization:Bearer $PINGD_AUTH' -s | jq -r .checks[].id`; do
curl -X GET https://api.pingdom.com/api/3.1/checks/$i -H 'Authorization:Bearer $PINGD_AUTH' -s | jq -r '.check | .name + " " + .hostname + " " +.type.http.url'
done

Which will you something like

homepage example.com /
category example.com /category
article example.com /article

If you want to customize the output just adapt the jq query with any additional fields you may want printed, as an example of the params available:
