Peudo-code for potential applescript code that will list todo's from Things' "Today" list sectioned off into Areas / Projects, like they are in the UI.

today.txt

# potential (pseudo)code

tell application "Things"
    repeat with theList in "Today"
		--- add name to json
        --- add project to json
        --- add area to json
	end repeat
end tell

# end result should look something like:

[
    {
        name: "Task 1",
        project: "Project 1",
        area: "Area 1"
    },
    {
        name: "Task 2",
        project: "Project 1"
    },
    {
        name: "Task 3",
        area: "Area 2"
    },
    {
        name: "Task 4"
    }
