08/30/2021, 5:58 PMHello Sheldon! Jiri from GoodData here. Yes, you can use gdc-catalog-export with GoodData.CN, I believe the tool doesn't care if it's a dev/staging/prod environment, as long as you specify the host correctly (i.e., for dev env it will most likely be some localhost:PORT).

08/30/2021, 6:21 PMHow should I set the API token? I tried setting it as an env variable but that doesnt seem to work

08/30/2021, 6:22 PMand I'm not sure setting the backend in the config file is getting picked up either. I am looking through the source of the tool to figure out how as well

08/30/2021, 6:40 PMdang it my bad ... dunno why I'm looking at the v4.1.1 docs
j
Jiri Zajic
08/30/2021, 6:40 PMThis is for GoodData.UI v4.1.1 and for that, gdc-catalog-export would be correct.
Jiri Zajic
08/30/2021, 6:40 PMYup, but I'll still make a note of that it is confusing and see how we can improve this. Maybe some yellow/orange banner at the top when you're looking on an older version of GD.UI.
