Tool enables export of ChatGPT Business account conversations for offline access
Key points
- scrapemychats exports ChatGPT Business/Team conversations.
- Creates a searchable, offline archive with an HTML viewer.
- Tool operates locally, not accessing user passwords.
- Requires Python 3.10+ and Google Chrome/Edge.
Addressing a Data Export Gap
ChatGPT Business and Team accounts do not offer a built-in "Export data" function, unlike personal accounts. This absence means users cannot easily retain their conversation history when a workspace is closed or a subscription is canceled. The scrapemychats tool was developed to fill this specific need.
Functionality and Features
The tool exports all conversations, including text and attached files, to the user's local computer. It then generates a searchable, offline archive. This archive is accessible via a self-contained HTML viewer, which supports full-text search, categorization, inline image thumbnails, and keyboard navigation without requiring an internet connection or server.
Security and Privacy
scrapemychats operates by driving a Chrome window on the user's machine using their existing logged-in ChatGPT session. It does not access user passwords, and no data is sent to any external servers other than chatgpt.com itself, ensuring user data remains local.
Technical Requirements and Usage
To use the tool, users need Python 3.10 or newer and Google Chrome (or Microsoft Edge). The process involves installing dependencies, running a Python script to export chats, and then another script to build the offline viewer. The tool automatically discovers chat lists, including those within Projects.
