This is a repo for helping to analyse Facebook groupchats

This package will show some cool statistics for your Facebook groupchats.

How to obtain chatlogs from Facebook

Download your facebook chatlog, you can find it in your Facebook general account settings right here:

You will find multiple html files with all your chatlogs. You can open them in a browser to look for the one you want to analyse. Alternatively you could go to the group in messenger and copy the group-id there:

https://www.messenger.com/t/COPY_THIS_NUMBER

Getting started:

Once you have located your groupchat file.html use the following commands in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/tvturnhout/ChatStats
cd ChatStats
python main.py /path/to/html/file.html

You can see a short summary in the terminal and under the ./plot folder you will now find the different plots.

All credits go to conor-or, this is merely a wrapper to make the library work on European time formats.

chatstats's Issues

IndexError: string index out of range

Hey, how are you? When running your script, I get this error:

File found, loading messages...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 551, in
groupchat = messages_load()
File "main.py", line 533, in messages_load
return GroupChat(load(f))
File "main.py", line 31, in init
u.split(' '))) for u in self.users]
File "main.py", line 30, in
self.users_initials = [''.join(map(lambda x: x[0],
IndexError: string index out of range

Any idea what might be the problem? Using 2.7 python, etc. Also, I had to manually replace the "input/group_chat.pkl" destinations, in main.py and parser.py.
Thanks for any help
