Run with python hipchat2csv.py authtoken email write or post. Example: 'python hipchat2csv.py my.name@example.com print'. This will get the last 1000 messages from my conversations with my.name@example.com and print the csv output. If i use write instead of print it will write to a file with the email as the filename.
