Discord Data Dump

This Python script allows you to extract channel and message data from a Discord server using the `discord.py` library. It fetches the channel structure and messages from each text channel and saves the information in a JSON file.

---

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• discord.py library (install using pip install discord.py)

Getting Started

1. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
2. Install the required dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Replace YOUR_BOT_TOKEN in the config.json file by your actual bot token.
4. Run the script using python dump.py.

The extracted channel and message data will be saved in dump.json.

Example Files

config.json

This file stores your Discord bot token. Replace "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN" with your actual bot token.

{
    "token": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"
}

dump.json

This file contains information about guilds, channels, and messages extracted from the server.

[
    {
        "guild_name": "Example Guild 1",
        "guild_id": "123456789012345678",
        "channels": [
            {
                "channel_name": "general",
                "channel_id": "123456789012345678",
                "messages": [
                    {
                        "author": "User1",
                        "content": "Hello, everyone!",
                        "timestamp": "2023-08-20 12:34:56"
                    },
                    ...
                ]
            },
            ...
        ]
    },
    ...
]

Notes

Be cautious when sharing your bot token or code containing sensitive information. The script may take a while to run, especially for large servers or channels with many messages. Consider potential rate limiting issues from the Discord API when fetching large amounts of data.
