DiscordChatExporter VS Discord-History-Tracker

DiscordChatExporter: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter

It's a standalone program using the API in a nonstandard way but I don't think anyone's been banned for using it yet.

In case anyone is not aware, you can download Discord logs.

I'm sure many people are annoyed by online forums being replaced by Discord. For a while I've hoarded servers I'm a part of with this tool. It's incredible, there's even a frontend tool they also made to browse your archived servers. Over time I've helped people find deleted guides, individuals who edit/delete content to get around rules, etc. This is becoming more of a necessity as time goes on.

I've used this tool: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter

Someone in the Discord server could try using DiscorcChatExporter.

Discord to me is like a burning library when it comes to archiving. You can try to save somethings but servers are disappearing all the time. There's discord chat exporter to archive discords, you can have an option to save attachments/images that you have to toggle on otherwise it won't. You could set it up so you could just use your account (which is against tos) or make a bot which does need to be invited to the server in question. So there is a way to download discords, but it risks getting you banned from discord. Note that being able to open the resulting html file relies on your computer, as some exports I've done are BIG and my computer being unable to load the file and read it (and no, my computer is not bad).

If you ever need to extract important information buried somewhere in a Discord server, I am having luck with Discord History Tracker [1] (browser-only version). It lets you download all messages in a json file, which then you can read with [2] (works offline too).

Maybe you can save the chats by yourself? Another user recommended https://dht.chylex.com/. At least the messages will be backed up then.

I much like https://github.com/Sanqui/discard2. You can use the derive-urls reader on a finished crawl to get attachments. https://dht.chylex.com has a GUI and is easier to use, but gets less data.

Hello guys, I got an interactive HTML (https://dht.chylex.com/ the Desktop app exports the backup in the HTML Format which is then navigated using a browser)

I appreciate the links, I also pushed the community shared drive to help unify sample collection and standards of naming so this allows testing and checking via any users but also perma-hosting rather than samples being lost an issue I find with forum posts when people toss them up on annon file or mega or a space-limited google account etc its a nightmare. I would say discord is a long-term paper trail (If you use it right), it's real-time comms but also easily hard text exportable, everything posted is permahosted even if user accounts get banned or deleted off the platform that content has to be manually scrubbed, and every thing can be target looked up easier then targeted google, and easy to follow reply chains since last years update, the issue I have with forums is 1 delay times and 2 no easy target lookup or the ability to find an entire start to finish chain in 10-sec ware as on discord its fluid to find what you need to know when you need to know it and stops duplicates information quite well.

Actually, I found this dev that made an open source chat history viewer that has the time down to the second, also something you should know is that that concert was 5 hours long and there's about 5k messages, I'm willing to do the video editing on my side, all I need is the chat top pop up like twitch chat, here's the link to the open source discord chat history https://dht.chylex.com/ I asked him if he could do what I needed but sadly declined
