Meant for use with the discord chat program available here: [Discord](https://discordapp.com/)
|
|
|
|
**Requires**
|
|
* [Rapptz's discord python API](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py)
|
|
* 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](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/235)
|
|
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 <channel name>.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.

|
|
**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. |
