Hi All,

I have a query regarding the exporting the flow. There is already option on Node red to export from menu CTR + e through which I am able to export the flow. But, I just want to know is there any way/ package through which we can export the json and store the same in database. So that manually export and saving can skip.

Regards,  
Robindra

Have you looked at the admin api [Admin API : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/)

@E1cid Thanks for the response.  
Now, I got the API in Admin API section to get the JSON for the nodes.
