Webex Teams Archiver

Simple utility to archive Webex Teams rooms

Webex Teams Archiver extracts the messages and files out of a Webex Teams room and saves them in text, HTML, and JSON formats.

Example

from webexteamsarchiver import WebexTeamsArchiver

personal_token = "mytoken"
archiver = WebexTeamsArchiver(personal_token)

# room id from https://developer.webex.com/endpoint-rooms-get.html
room_id = "Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vd2ViZXh0ZWFtc2FyY2hpdmVy"
archiver.archive_room(room_id)

Produces the following files:

$ ls
Title_Timestamp_Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vd2ViZXh0ZWFtc2FyY2hpdmVy.tgz
Title_Timestamp_Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vd2ViZXh0ZWFtc2FyY2hpdmVy

$ ls Title_Timestamp_Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vd2ViZXh0ZWFtc2FyY2hpdmVy/
Title_Timestamp_Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vd2ViZXh0ZWFtc2FyY2hpdmVy.html
Title_Timestamp_Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vd2ViZXh0ZWFtc2FyY2hpdmVy.json
Title_Timestamp_Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vd2ViZXh0ZWFtc2FyY2hpdmVy.txt
attachments/
avatars/
space_details.json

Below is an example of a simple room that got archived.

Note 1: The HTML version of the archive requires Internet connectivity because of the CSS, which is not packaged with the archive because of licensing conflicts.

Note 2: Please note that use of the Webex Teams Archiver may violate the retention policy, if any, applicable to your use of Webex Teams.
