This script pulls all pinned messages in a Slack channel and saves them to a database.
Requirements
- Python 3.6+
It is recomended that you use pyenv and pipenv to develop your project. Assuming pipenv is installed, simply clone this repo and run pipenv install in the project root.
Copy config-template.yml to config.yml and add your Slack app oauth token and the ID for the channel you want to pull messages from.
This script is intended to be run as a cron job, but can be run manually. It will save each individual message as it's own json file in the messages/TS_ID.json directory along with a combined json file, messages/messages.json. Additionally, the script will print the contents of messages/messages.json to stdout so you can pipe it wherever you like without modifying the script.
