Backup to PDF

I need help in getting my backup decrypted. For WhatsApp, there's this really great website where you can insert a txt file and then it shows the entire chat in the WhatsApp design including emojis ( https://whatsapp-chat-parser.netlify.app/ ).
[Request] Would it be possible to record in a spreadsheet all the people I exchanged Whatsapp messages with that day and how many messages there were? Thank you!

I found WhatsApp Chat Parser that could help to do that (even though I would have to create separate automation for every conversation in the last 24 hours, just to count the messages in the conversation), I just think would be a bit too complex to achieve this, considering I would have to make a backup of WhatsApp every day, download it and parse the chats.

How to save WhatsApp chats with more than 130k messages? (more information below)
2 projects | /r/DataHoarder | 24 Sep 2023

I searched a lot on this subreddit and found two github solutions: B16f00t/whapa: WhatsApp Parser Toolset v1.59 (github.com) and ElDavoo/wa-crypt-tools: Decrypts WhatsApp .crypt12, .crypt14 and .crypt15 files. (github.com)

Open source chat app with plain text chat logs
2 projects | /r/androidapps | 7 May 2023

I've used "WHAGODRI" from https://github.com/B16f00t/whapa to download my backup from Google Drive. However, the message database (msgstore.db.crypt15) requires a key file to decrypt. My phone is not rooted, so I am unable to access the decryption key. I have tried https://github.com/YuvrajRaghuvanshiS/WhatsApp-Key-Database-Extractor but I did not succeed in retrieving the key.

If you are technically inclined, you can also check some free tools. I used one some times ago: https://github.com/B16f00t/whapa
WhatsApp backups corrupted?
1 project | /r/AndroidQuestions | 15 Sep 2022

You can try whapa to download your database backup from Google Drive, then you clear WhatsApp data, copy the backup to the corresponding folder in /storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases and then see if the WhatsApp app can recover the local backup. Note that you lost your local backups because uninstalling the app will trigger Android to clear its local data (all backups and media files)
Backup of Whatsapp NOT THE "BACK UP TO GOOGLE DRIVE AUTO UPLOAD"

The result is a sqlite database that can be dumped or browsed with the regular (database) tools; there are 2 projects I know of that are actually reading the data and presenting it nicely but both are broken just now as Whatsapp changed the name of some tables (the changes are only cosmetic, the data is still there): https://github.com/B16f00t/whapa and https://github.com/andreas-mausch/whatsapp-viewer .
