问题
I want to retrieve all the messages that were sent in my teams slack domain. Although, I'd prefer that the data be received in XML or JSON I am able to handle the data in just about any form.
How can I retrieve all these messages? Is it possible? If not, can I retrieve all the messages for a specific channel?
回答1:
If you need to do this dynamically via API you can use the channels.list method to list all of the channels in your team and channels.history method to retrieve the history of each channel. Note that this will not include DMs or private groups.
If you need to do this as a one time thing, go to https://my.slack.com/services/export to export your team's message archives as series of JSON files

This Python script exports everything to JSON by a simple run: https://gist.github.com/Chandler/fb7a070f52883849de35
It creates the directories for you and you have the option to exclude direct messages or channels.
All you need to install is the slacker module, which is simply pip install slacker. Then run it with --token='secret-token'. You need a legacy token, which is available here at the moment.

For anyone looking for Direct Message history downloads, this node based cli tool allows you to download messages from DMs and IMs in both JSON and CSV. I've used it, and it works very well.

With the new Conversations API this task is bit easier now. Here is a full overview:
Fetching messages from a channel
The new API method conversations.history will allow you to download messages from every type of conversation / channel (public, private, DM, Group DM) as long as your token has access to it.
This method also supports paging allowing you to download large amounts of messages.
Resolving IDs to names
Note that this method will return messages in a raw JSON format with IDs only, so you will need to call additional API method to resolve those IDs into plain text:
- user ID: users.list
- channel IDs: conversations.list
- bot IDs: bots.info (there is no official
bots.listmethod, but there is an unofficial one, which might help in some cases)
Fetching threads
In addition use conversations.replies to download threads in a conversation. Threads function a bit like conversations within a conversation and need to be downloaded separately.
Check out this page of the official documentation for more details on threading.
