Meant for use with the discord chat program available here: Discord

Requires

• Rapptz's discord python API
  • Note: can be installed by running the following command as root: python3 -m pip install -U discord.py *See official documentation for further customization.

Usage

1. Modify the final line in the script to include both your discord email and password
2. Run the script
   • Note: a rather cryptic error can occur if you have 2 factor authentication enabled, bug report here
3. As the same user which was used to log into the script, go to the desired channel you wish to save and type !yank which will start the scraping process
4. If successful, the file should be saved in the directory you ran the script in as .txt
   • Note: This works with both server channels and private channels, however private conversions will save under the filename 'None.txt', while everything else will save under the name of the channel.

Current Issues

• : On_ready fails for some unknown reason (probably asyncio related). Project is on hold in the mean time.

Future plans

• : Solve the 2FAuth issue.
• : More robust than the hacked-together mess it currently is
• : Quiet mode - doesn't require messages
• : Command line arguments
• : Remake discord API in C so it works more than half the time.
