The Metadata Extractor plugin offers a powerful way to export metadata from your Obsidian vault. With this plugin, you can write various types of metadata to disk, including tags, markdown notes, non-markdown files, and canvas files. This allows third-party apps to access and utilize your Obsidian metadata in ways that were previously not possible.
The plugin provides four different JSON exports, each with its own unique structure and purpose. For example, the tag export writes a JSON file containing information about each tag and its corresponding file paths, while the markdown notes metadata export writes a JSON array of Metadata objects for each Markdown file in your vault.
These exports can be executed on a schedule, giving you control over when and how often your metadata is updated. The plugin also offers configuration options to customize the names and locations of the exported files, as well as the frequency and timing of the exports.
Overall, the Metadata Extractor plugin opens up new possibilities for integrating Obsidian with other apps and tools, making it a valuable addition to any Obsidian user's toolkit.
