Converts the JSON dump of Asana to a simple CSV-file.

Asana JSON-dump to CSV converter

A simple PHP-converter that converts the JSON dump of service Asana to CSV.

Why is it needed?

Asana has the ability to export tasks to JSON and CSV formats. Export to CSV, currently, has a limit of 500 lines.

To build the majority of the retrospective reports, you need a complete dump of tasks, so the problem of completeness is solved in an obvious way - take the JSON dump (has no restrictions on the number of tasks) and convert it into a CSV format.

How to run?

The converter is designed to work in command line mode (CLI-mode) and runs as follows:

php asana-json2csv.php /path/to/source/file.json

At the end of the script runing, the CSV dump will be saved to a file named file.csv in the same directory as the original JSON dump file of Asana.

Notes

I did not use subtasks, therefore the field Parent Task in the final CSV-file will always be empty.
