I found under explanation, by failed to export.

```auto
export <path>

    Exports Joplin data to the given path. By default, it will export the 
    complete database including notebooks, notes, tags and resources.

    --format <format> Destination format: jex (Joplin Export File), raw 
                           (Joplin Export Directory), json (Json Export 
                           Directory), md (Markdown), html (HTML File), html 
                           (HTML Directory)
    --note <note> Exports only the given note.
    --notebook <notebook> Exports only the given notebook.

```

The command I used is:

```auto
joplin export TEMP --format md --notebook id

```

Thanks in advance!

Hi @laurent I'm now using joplin version 1.2.6.

When I using 1.1.4 joplin termianl not work which has been fixed by [https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/3783](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/3783)

For now, command `joplin export TEMP --format md --notebook notebook_id` only returns:

`can't find notebook_id`

* * *

All my notes are created by joplin GUI. But for some reason I don't know a notebook can't show in GUI, but still there in disk.

So I tried to use terminal joplin export it.

Could terminal joplin access notes created by GUI?

I find ways to let GUI share notes to terminal: `joplin export --profile ~/.config/joplin-desktop ~/TTTT --notebook fa74fb3afbec4ae0a3d5344725ab0f50 --format md`.

But still get can't find `fa74fb3afbec4ae0a3d5344725ab0f50`.
