Import Text File (.json)

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 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.
Visit the Keeper Commander SDK repository here:
https://github.com/Keeper-Security/commander​
The command to export a vault in JSON format is demonstrated below:
$ keeper shell
  _  __  
 | |/ /___ ___ _ __  ___ _ _ 
 | ' </ -_) -_) '_ \/ -_) '_|
 |_|\_\___\___| .__/\___|_|
              |_|

Creating a custom .JSON file
Here's a few example JSON files for reference (you can also just export from your Keeper Vault and see the structure that way):
Example JSON file: Records and Folders (no sharing)
{
  "records": [
    {
      "title": "Dev Server 1",
      "login": "root",
      "password": "123123123",
      "login_url": "https://myserver.com",
      "notes": "These are some notes.",
      "custom_fields": {
        "Security Group": "Private"
      },
      "folders": [
        {
          "folder": "Private Folder 1"
        }
      ]
    },
