andrew-pynch / dappi

Scrap messages from discord servers and parse them into a csv file.

Inactive

Discord Chat Exporter added the ability to natively export to CSV. This tooling is thankfully no longer necessary :-)

Dappi

Scrape messages from discord server dumps and parse them into a csv file. More features to come later though

Usage

0. Get an html dump from the server you are trying to parse messages from using...

   • Discord Chat Exporter

1. Install dappi

   • pip3 install dappi

Use As CLI

2. Run the CLI with command line args
   • dappi -i {path_to_discord_html_export} -o {path_to_csv_output_directory/file_name.csv} -s {boolean | "Sets a flag to show messages in the terminal while they are being parsed"}
   • Note: file_name.csv, doesn't need to exist, but the "path_to_csv_output_directory" does!

Use As Library

2. Use dappi as a library

from dappi import parser
                                
dappi_parser = parser.Parser(
        'frostbite.html',    # Html input
        'data/messages.csv', # Output Directory
        True                 # Show messages while writing
    )
dappi_parser.parse_all_messages_into_single_file()
exit

TODO

• Automated tests
• Generate statistics and graphs of user activity from parsed messages?
  • Frequency of user messages?
  • Sentiment analysis of user messages?
  • Other interesting metrics?
• Expose more functionality, I.E Write better docs
