GitHub - oilnam/fabadig: Every conversation you ever had on Facebook nicely sorted, and you can even Cmd+F

a Facebook Backup Digger

Overview

Ever wondered who are the people you chat with the most? Ever wanted to read every conversation you ever had on Facebook, since the beginning of time? I do all the time (sadly).

Fabadi helps you turn the copy of your Facebook data in something you can easily be obsessed by read, by doing three things:

1. It breaks the huge, unreadable messages.htm into a distinct file for every chat
2. It makes an ascending copy of all your chats
3. It plots an HTML rank of your chats, sorted by chat size.

TL;DR: Every conversation you ever had on Facebook nicely sorted, and you can even Cmd+F.

Install and Running

You first need to get a copy of your Facebook data. Facebook will send it to you by email within a few hours (and within a few minutes every time after the first time).

Once you have it, unzip the folder and (assuming you're on OSX/Linux) run the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/oilnam/fabadig.git
$ cd fabadig
$ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

To generate your report:

$ python src/rabbit.py <your facebook folder>

It might take a little while depending on how much chat you have; still under a minute on my 2013 Macbook Pro though.
