Feishu Importer

Feishu Importer for Obsidian

Import Feishu or Lark cloud documents into your Obsidian vault as local Markdown, with browser OAuth login, incremental sync, and optional image and attachment downloads.

Highlights

• Browser-based Feishu OAuth login with automatic token refresh
• Import a single Feishu or Lark document from a pasted URL
• Incremental sync for the last imported document or all tracked documents
• Optional download of images and file attachments into your vault
• Frontmatter with source URL, document token, revision ID, and import time
• Broader block support for headings, lists, quotes, callouts, code, images, files, embeds, sheets, bitables, dividers, and Markdown tables

Installation

Build from source

npm install
npm run build

Build output is written to:

• dist/feishu-importer/main.js
• dist/feishu-importer/manifest.json
• dist/feishu-importer/versions.json

Copy those files into your Obsidian plugin folder:

<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/feishu-importer/

Feishu App Setup

This plugin uses user OAuth, which is the right fit for a public community plugin because imports run with the signed-in user's permissions.

1. Create an app

Open the Feishu or Lark developer console:

• Feishu app console: https://open.feishu.cn/app

2. Copy credentials

From the app's credentials page, copy:

• App ID
• App Secret

3. Add the redirect URI

In the plugin settings, click Copy Redirect URI, then paste it into:

Feishu Open Platform -> Your App -> Security Settings -> Redirect URLs

Default value:

http://127.0.0.1:27124/callback

4. Grant permissions

In the plugin settings, click Copy Permission JSON. Use it as a checklist for:

Feishu Open Platform -> Your App -> Permissions & Scopes

Required scopes:

• docx:document:readonly
• offline_access

If you want local image and attachment download, you may also need the relevant drive/media read permission in your Feishu app, depending on your tenant policy.

Plugin Setup

Open Settings -> Community plugins -> Feishu Importer and configure:

• Platform: choose Feishu China or Lark Global
• App ID
• App Secret
• Import folder: where Markdown notes should be saved
• Assets folder: where downloaded images and attachments should be saved
• Download images and attachments: enable local asset sync

Then click Connect and complete the browser login.

Commands

• Feishu Importer: Import Feishu document
• Feishu Importer: Connect Feishu account
• Feishu Importer: Refresh Feishu login
• Feishu Importer: Disconnect Feishu account
• Feishu Importer: Sync last imported document incrementally
• Feishu Importer: Sync all imported documents incrementally

Usage

Import a document

1. Run Feishu Importer: Import Feishu document
2. Paste a Feishu or Lark document URL
3. Confirm import

The plugin will:

• fetch the latest document revision
• convert supported blocks to Markdown
• optionally download images and attachments
• save the note into your configured import folder
• track the document for future incremental sync

Incremental sync

Once a document has been imported, the plugin stores its latest revision ID.

• Sync last imported document incrementally rechecks only the most recent imported document
• Sync all imported documents incrementally rechecks every tracked document

If the remote revision has not changed, the plugin skips the rewrite.

What Gets Imported

Currently supported well

• Paragraphs
• Headings 1-9
• Bullet lists
• Ordered lists
• To-dos
• Quotes
• Code blocks
• Callouts
• Dividers
• Images
• File attachments
• Sheet and Bitable link cards
• Embed link cards

Rendered as simplified placeholders

• Some nested or container-heavy structures
• Unknown or newly introduced Feishu block types

Vault Output

Imported notes include frontmatter like:

---
title: "Example Doc"
source: "https://example.feishu.cn/docx/..."
feishu_doc_token: "abc123"
feishu_revision_id: 42
imported_at: "2026-04-15T00:00:00.000Z"
---

When asset download is enabled:

• images are embedded as local Obsidian wiki embeds
• file attachments are linked as local vault files
• assets are grouped under Assets folder/<Document Title>/

Known Limitations

• Asset download depends on the permissions granted to your Feishu app and user token
• Complex table cells with merged cells or rich nested layouts may be simplified
• Some advanced Feishu block types may still be simplified
• The plugin currently assumes a desktop environment for browser OAuth

Development

npm install
npm run typecheck
node --test --import tsx tests/url.test.ts tests/markdown.test.ts tests/feishuClient.test.ts
npm run build

Roadmap

Near term

• Richer nested list handling
• More Feishu embed and smart block coverage
• Clearer permission diagnostics for asset download failures

Mid term

• Better conflict handling when a local note was edited after import
• Bidirectional metadata for document tracking
• Selective sync UI for tracked documents
• Smarter naming and deduplication for downloaded assets

Longer term

• Optional service-backed OAuth flow that removes the need to expose App Secret to the local plugin
• More complete export fidelity for complex blocks and collaborative content
• Optional publish workflow and release automation
