It's not my solution but I found this to solve my issue:

A simple way of exporting a CouchDB database to a file, is by running the following Curl command in the terminal window:

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/[mydatabase]/_all_docs\?include_docs\=true > /Users/[username]/Desktop/db.json

Next step is to modify the exported json file to look like something like the below (note the _id):

{
  "docs": [
      {"_id": "0", "integer": 0, "string": "0"},
      {"_id": "1", "integer": 1, "string": "1"},
      {"_id": "2", "integer": 2, "string": "2"}
  ]
}

Main bit you need to look at is adding the documents in the “docs” code block. Once this is done you can run the following Curl command to import the data to a CouchDB database:

curl -d @db.json -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/[mydatabase]/_bulk_docs

Duplicating a database If you want to duplicate a database from one server to another. Run the following command:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST http://localhost:5984/_replicate -d ' {"source": "http://example.com:5984/dbname/", "target": "http://localhost@:5984/dbname/"}'
