Lean parser and visualizations for WhatsApp chat data

Getting your data

---

As of now, only WhatsApp chats are supported. Steps to export a WhatsApp chat:

• Go to the app
• Go to Settings/Chats/Chat History
• Tap Export chat
• Select the chat you want to export

Parsing the chatfile

---

The following code uses the WhatsAppParser module to:

• Read a chatfile
• Infer its datetime format
• Parse its content into a DataFrame
• Add additonal metadata columns

from chatminer.chatparsers import WhatsAppParser

parser = WhatsAppParser(FILEPATH)
parser.parse_file_into_df()
print(parser.df.describe())

Creating Visualizations

---

Sunburst Chart

import chatminer.visualizations as vis
vis.sunburst(parser.df)

---

Wordcloud

import chatminer.visualizations as vis
stopwords = ['media', 'omitted', 'missed', 'voice', 'call']
vis.wordcloud(parser.df, stopwords)
