# Facebook Message Converter
There are a few good projects on GitHub for pulling statistics from Facebook message archives, like [conversation-analyzer](https://github.com/5agado/conversation-analyzer) and [FacebookChatStatistics](https://github.com/davidkrantz/FacebookChatStatistics), but recent changes to the format of Facebook export archives have broken compatibility. This script allows for conversion from the new JSON message archive format to formats that work with the above tools.

# Formats
This script exports in a simple text format used by [conversation-analyzer](https://github.com/5agado/conversation-analyzer), as well as the JSON format defined by [fbchat-archive-parser](https://github.com/ownaginatious/fbchat-archive-parser) (used by [FacebookChatStatistics](https://github.com/davidkrantz/FacebookChatStatistics)).

# Usage
```
python3 facebook-message-converter.py --help
usage: facebook-message-converter.py [-h] --in ARCHIVEPATH --out OUTPATH
--format FORMAT
FB Message Archive Converter
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--in ARCHIVEPATH Path to JSON archive
--out OUTPATH Path to output file
--format FORMAT txt or json, for conversation-analyzer or
FacebookChatStatistics respectively
```

### Example usage:
```
# Convert to a json format for FacebookChatStatistics
python3 facebook-message-converter.py --in message.json --out converted.json --format json
```

```
# Convert to a txt format for conversation-analyzer
python3 facebook-message-converter.py --in message.json --out converted.txt --format txt
```
