  6. Hello, I was looking for the solution and came across your post. You have described the steps in details, but I wonder how much this service costs. How many posts does their free plan allow to export?
    In your case, how many posts do you get from that API?
    Many thanks!

    • From the Post area, Click on the right top section Called “screen options”.

      This will open up a few options. In Pagination, input any number of the blog post you want to export through it.

      Once done, it will reload the page, and now select all the blog posts at once and select the Aspose Export file and Hit the Apply button.
