history
Project history and usage
yuque-dl is a TypeScript/Node.js CLI for downloading Yuque knowledge bases and documents to local Markdown. Its niche is personal and team knowledge-base backup: turning hosted Yuque pages, images, and attachments into files that can be archived, searched, or previewed locally.
Project history
The GitHub repository was created in August 2023. The README describes a command-line downloader for Yuque knowledge bases, single documents, multi-document batches, and all knowledge bases visible to the current account.
The changelog shows continued maintenance through 2025 and 2026, with features such as incremental downloads, attachment ignoring, single-document support, user and batch subcommands, and fixes for password-protected download flows.
Adoption history
GitHub metadata showed more than two thousand stars by July 2026, notable for a specialized Chinese knowledge-base export tool. Its adoption is tied less to broad developer infrastructure and more to the practical need to keep Yuque content portable.
How it is used
Typical usage is to pass a Yuque knowledge-base or document URL to yuque-dl and choose an output directory. For private or password-protected material, the README documents token, cookie-key, and password options, while public material can be downloaded directly when Yuque allows access.
The tool can also serve the downloaded content with a bundled preview server, making it useful as both a backup/export utility and a local review tool for migrated documentation.
Why package nerds care
yuque-dl is a useful package-manager entry because it packages a regional SaaS escape hatch as a repeatable CLI. It is the kind of tool users discover only when they need to make hosted knowledge portable, then want it installable from the same places as other backup utilities.
