Thanks for this! Any thoughts on adding extra arguments that allow you to specify channel ID's to include / exclude from the output?

Thanks for making this available! It helped me out today :D FYI for others, this requires using the "legacy Slack API tokens" https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens .

Hi there,
When I go to run this I run into throttling issues from Slack. It starts getting the channel history and then part way through the list of channels it errors out with "requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for url: https://slack.com/api/channels.history?channel=C24KKPRT6&latest=1485907199&oldest=1483228800&count=300&inclusive=0&unreads=0&token=...."
Looks like I'm exceeding what slack will let me pull down at once. Is there anyway to work around this? Like to avoiding archived channels, avoid messages from bots, run the request in small batches with built in pauses, something else?
Thanks!

Hey, does this include exporting reactions along with the messages?
Also wondering if compliance-level tier is required to get DMs with this, i.e. Plus level ? Thanks

f0ster commented Aug 4, 2017

@Benoit99 I have a hacked fix for that here, https://gist.github.com/f0ster/ab3b8bc748c0779a53ceed11d46b1303 . It basically has a configured wait/backoff and will keep retrying as many times as you specify (wrapped around each call to slack /getHistory)

Here it is set to try every 2 seconds up to 10000x for each URI resource it fails on.

The slack docs say they rate limit to 1req/sec

The script also has a skipChannels option which skips Channels and exports only direct messages and private channels. Private channels include multi person direct messages.
python slack_history.py --token='my-secret-token' --skipChannels

What is the syntax to export a specific channel? I don't need all of the messages from all of my company's slack account to be export just a single channel?

The token is the client secret or the verification token?

I get slacker.Error: invalid_auth for both.

geosava commented Oct 27, 2017

for anyone having slacker.Error: invalid_auth please try without the '' around your token.

python slack_history.py --token=my-secret-token

It worked for me.

Is there anywhere any tool that will help me physically read the exported files from this program?

I have found this: https://github.com/hfaran/slack-export-viewer
But it works only for slack's export zip structure.

Hey Guys!

I know that most people here wanted to export the data and view it in the slack export viewer. I have updated this basic implementation to support some more features such as exporting only specific private channels and properly exporting to work with in slack export viewer.

I created a repo that can be expanded upon.

I tested most of the features but it may have issues still. Feel free to create issues so others know and I might fix them.

Enjoy 😄

Enjoy

Thank you, so far so good. I got the 429 error too, so I was looking around.

This script lists all the messages in a single file, whereas your tool lists them by folder then date. I guess that is the slack export format and I should use the slack export viewer?

Update:

Yes. That's right. I was able to use @zach-snell's tool without encountering 429 issue.

python3 slack-export.py --token='xoxp-64756569494-[..omitted..]'

After it's done, go into the directory and zip the file, then view in the viewer.

pip install slack-export-viewer

cd 20190107-164818-slack_export/
zip -r ../20190107-164818-slack_export.zip *
cd ..
slack-export-viewer -z 20190107-164818-slack_export.zip

This is because slack-export.py creates a timestamped folder, so you'll need to zip the contents from inside so that slack-export-viewer can read it in the right structure.

The missing scope error is due to "incomplete" permissions via OAuth. I just got bored and added the entire suite of permissions. But now I get another error :(

it seems that slack has disabled ways to create tokens now may 2020, Since the script depends on having token in its argument , is there any way for the script to work without token ?

Thanks, @nickcanfield29 for guidance.
I can definitely try it. a slack app to export direct messages into files
All, I want to do is export the "direct messages" out into a file for future reading/searching.
our org has decided to move to a different application and hence no longer willing to use slack paid edition for all,

I tried the Evernote clip method but I don't have the paid version of Evernote so in one direct message itself I reached the limit.

Does anyone know if using this script on a free account wouldn't just download the last 10,000 messages as opposed to the entire history?

It seems like I need slack admin approval to create this app.

Hello,
I've not been able to use this script so I build a new one using the new API : https://gist.github.com/benoit-cty/a5855dea9a4b7af03f1f53c07ee48d3c
Less powerfull but work in April 2021.

Which scopes should I add? 🤔

For people coming from a Google search, I found this script working well: https://github.com/sebseager/slack-exporter
