To do so, follow two steps:
git clone [email protected]:margaritageleta/slack-export-history.git
Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and go straight to Create New App
. Choose your Workspace and press Create App
. Then, click on your app and go to Add features and functionality
-> Permissions
-> Scopes
and add the following scopes in User Token Scopes
(be careful, User Token Scopes
NOT Bot Token Scopes
):
channels:history
channels:read
groups:history
groups:read
im:history
im:read
mpim:history
mpim:read
users:read
Then install the app in your workspace (you can go to OAuth & Permissions
section and press Reinstall app
), accept the permissions and copy the OAuth Access Token.
sudo pip3 install requests
sudo pip3 install pick
Go ahead to the terminal and run python3 slack.py --token COPY_YOUR_OAUTH_TOKEN_HERE
. Choose the DM conversation you want to export and we are done!
