Exporting data from Pivotal Tracker is a pain in the ass. The following scripts let you download all the stories of a given project, and then (optionally) extract all the attachments linked to those, and download them

download_and_pickle_stories.py

"""Download stories of a Pivotal Tracker project.

You need the project ID (an int) and your API token. The latter can be
obtained in ``https://www.pivotaltracker.com/profile``, or using curl::

   $ curl -u username:password -X GET https://www.pivotaltracker.com/services/v3/tokens/active

Hi! Is this really works? Can you give me instructions to work this out? I'll appreciate it! I'm not a dev and I have to export from pivotal with attachments.
Thank you in advance!

do you have means to extract story activity and review activities?
