Import Keeper JSON structured file format
Keeper supports importing a structured JSON file. You may use this, for example, if you have backed up a Keeper file from a different vault or if you are building a file from another data source. This is an advanced feature, typically used by Keeper Enterprise administrators or more technical customers.
The JSON file can be created in several ways:
- Exporting .JSON file from the Keeper Vault
- Exporting .JSON from Keeper Commander SDK
- Creating your own custom file
Creating .JSON file from a Keeper Vault
To create a .JSON file from your existing Keeper vault, click on your email > Settings > Export:
Open your Keeper Settings
​
Export to JSON
Click on Export Now and type in your Master Password (if requested) to export your records in JSON format.
Creating a JSON file from Keeper Commander
Keeper Commander is a developer / Admin tool that has many capabilities for managing your vault and Enterprise account.
The command to export a vault in JSON format is demonstrated below:
1
$ keeper shell
2

Creating a Custom .JSON file for Import Into Keeper
When creating a custom JSON import file, Keeper supports an array of "records", "folders" and "shared_folders". Several examples are included below that you can import into your vault for testing purposes.
Example JSON file: Records, Folders and Shared Folders
This file demonstrates several JSON import features including:
- Array of records
- Each record can have custom fields, notes and be added to folders
- Folders can be created as regular (private) or shared folders
- Records can also contain TOTP seeds (advanced feature, see Facebook entry)
