# hangouts-parser
|
|
|
|
This repository parses conversation data from Google Hangouts and gives
|
|
diagnostics on the number of messages in conversations. I'm working on adding
|
|
support for visualizations based on the parsed data for more interesting
|
|
graphical views of the data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
1. Clone this repository
|
|
2. Download your hangouts data
|
|
+ Navigate to [Google Takeout](https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout)
|
|
+ Choose "Select None" and manually select Hangouts
|
|
+ Download the data in zip format and move the `Hangouts.json` file into the `raw` folder in this repository
|
|
3. Install dependencies via `pip`
|
|
+ `pip install -r requirements.txt`
|
|
+ No dependencies are required for the `parser.py` script, but `visualize.py` will require the dependencies
|
|
4. Run the parser
|
|
+ **Note:** if you did not place your hangouts data as `raw/Hangouts.json` you can specify the path to the `.json` file as an argument to the `parser.py` script via the `-f` flag
|
|
```bash
|
|
python parser.py
|
|
```
|
|
5. **Coming soon** Run the visualization
|
|
+ The `<conversation_id>` can be found in the output of the `parser.py`
|
|
script
|
|
```bash
|
|
python visualize.py -f output/<conversation_id>.pkl
|
|
```

### Acknowledgements
|
|
> This repository was inspired by [MasterScrat/Chatistics](https://github.com/MasterScrat/Chatistics). Chatistics can parse Facebook Messenger and Telegram data, but not Hangouts group messages. I originally intended to contribute to that repository and hadd Hangouts group message support, but my design drifted far from the existing design in that repository so I created a new project. Shoutout to MasterScrat for great work and thanks for the inspiration!
