messenger-scrapper

This is a simple application to fetch all messages from any chat from Facebook Messenger, giving only it's userId and your cookie

Why?

Sometimes you'd like to read a really old chat that you had with some friend or your girlfriend. But it's really annoying to keep scrolling up forever.

This scrapper fetches everything at once, and then display at your screen

How To Use

1. go to https://messenger.com
2. open a chat you want to scrap
3. open chrome dev tools
4. scroll the chat up to fetch new messages
5. search for a request call to https://www.messenger.com/api/graphqlbatch/
6. copy the cookie information and paste into the field cookies
7. copy the fb_dtsg paramenter and paste into the field fb_dtsg
8. search for the queries parameter in Form Data and then find the id property, this is the userId
9. Click in Submit and then in show messages

If you don't trust me to give me your cookies, you can run it locally. But I assure that I don't store, I only forward to the facebook API
