+# BookStack Data Exporter
+
+This Ruby script allows you to export data from a BookStack instance into a CSV file. The exported data includes information about pages, books, and shelves, along with their respective URLs and modification dates.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before running the script, make sure you have the following:
+
+- Ruby installed on your system
+- Access to a BookStack instance with API enabled
+- BookStack API token ID and token secret
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone this repository or download the script file.
+2. Install the required dependencies by running the following command:
+
+   ```
+   bundle install
+   ```
+
+3. Create a `.env` file in the same directory as the script and provide the following environment variables:
+
+   ```
+   BS_URL=<your_bookstack_url>
+   BS_TOKEN_ID=<your_api_token_id>
+   BS_TOKEN_SECRET=<your_api_token_secret>
+   ```
+
+   Replace `<your_bookstack_url>`, `<your_api_token_id>`, and `<your_api_token_secret>` with your actual BookStack URL, API token ID, and API token secret, respectively.
+
+## Usage
+
+To run the script and export the data, execute the following command:
+
+```
+ruby export_bookstack_data.rb
+```
+
+The script will retrieve data from your BookStack instance and generate a CSV file named `bookstack_data.csv` in the same directory.
+
+## CSV Output
+
+The generated CSV file will have the following columns:
+
+- Type: Indicates whether the row represents a page or a book.
+- ID: The unique identifier of the page or book.
+- Name: The name of the page or book.
+- URL: The URL of the page or book, formatted as an Excel hyperlink.
+- Book ID: The ID of the book to which the page belongs (applicable only for pages).
+- Book Name: The name of the book to which the page belongs (applicable only for pages).
+- Book URL: The URL of the book, formatted as an Excel hyperlink (applicable only for pages).
+- Shelf Name: The name of the shelf to which the book belongs.
+- Date Modified: The last modification date of the page or book.
+
+The URLs in the 'URL' and 'Book URL' columns are wrapped in the `=HYPERLINK()` function, allowing you to easily access the respective pages and books directly from the CSV file when opened in Excel.
+HYPERLINK() - is an Excel shortcut to make URL clickable, feel free to remove, if you don't use Excel.
+
+## Logging
+
+Logging to STDOUT, but can be adjusted to a file.
+
+## Example
+
+Here's an example of how the generated CSV file might look.
+
+```
+Type,ID,Name,URL,Book ID,Book Name,Book URL,Shelf Name,Date Modified
+Page,1,Introduction,=HYPERLINK("https://example.com/books/1/page/1"),1,User Guide,=HYPERLINK("https://example.com/books/1"),Getting Started,2023-05-01T10:00:00.000000Z
+Page,2,Installation,=HYPERLINK("https://example.com/books/1/page/2"),1,User Guide,=HYPERLINK("https://example.com/books/1"),Getting Started,2023-05-02T11:30:00.000000Z
+Book,1,User Guide,=HYPERLINK("https://example.com/books/1"),,,,Getting Started,2023-05-01T09:00:00.000000Z
+```
