**DiscordChatExporter** is an application that can be used to export message history from any [Discord](https://discord.com) channel to a file. It works with direct messages, group messages, and server channels, and supports Discord's dialect of markdown as well as most other rich media features. > [!WARNING] > While **DiscordChatExporter** allows it, automating user accounts is against Discord TOS and may result in you getting banned. > If possible, use a bot to export chat logs from accessible channels. ## Terms of use[[?]](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/.github/blob/prime/docs/why-so-political.md) By using this project or its source code, for any purpose and in any shape or form, you grant your **implicit agreement** to all the following statements: - You **condemn Russia and its military aggression against Ukraine** - You **recognize that Russia is an occupant that unlawfully invaded a sovereign state** - You **support Ukraine's territorial integrity, including its claims over temporarily occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas** - You **reject false narratives perpetuated by Russian state propaganda** To learn more about the war and how you can help, [click here](https://tyrrrz.me/ukraine).
