This project is for archiving messages of the "line" instant messaging app, which enjoys solid control over Taiwan's society. It contains two pieces of code:

• linespector.py can be used to save the currently open chat to a sqlite database
• index.php can be used to display the saved messages from the database

Preparation

My desktop is linuxmint, debian edition. You may need to change the following commands if you are not using one of the GNU/linux distributions.

• Make sure you have either sqlite3 or litecli installed. I prefer the latter.
• Install selenium (and litecli): '''pip3 install selenium litecli```
• Execute create_db.sql in sqlite3 or litecli to create, say, line-chats.sqlite3 .

Updating the database and display

• Start chromium in debug mode: chromium --remote-debugging-port=9222
• Start the line extension for chrome, log in, and switch to the chat you want to save. Then: python3 linespector.py line-chats.sqlite3
• You can do this from sqlite or litecli to verify that the correct messages have been saved: select strftime("%m-%d %H:%M",time_stamp,'unixepoch') as time, chat_title, user_name, msg_type from messages
• Edit config.php
• Visit index.php via apache2 with your browser
