AWS Cognito user data export

A Python script for exporting user data from an AWS Cognito user pool. It automates the tedium of fetching many users using the AWS CLI. User data is stored to a single JSON file, with the option to also produce a CSV summary.

Setup

Python 3 and docopt are required. You can install docopt using PIP:

pip3 install docopt

The AWS CLI is used to communicate with AWS Cognito. This requires credentials to be set up in a .aws/credentials file in your home directory. See AWS credential file settings for more details.

Usage

To export all users to a JSON file, simply pass the ID of the user pool:

cognito-export.py <user-pool-id>

Exported data is saved in the current working directory, with the user pool ID and a timestamp in the file name.

For a full list of options run cognito-export.py --help.
