Discord JSON Search

A tool to search Discord JSON files for keywords, and showing you specific messages that include those keywords, as well as the channels they're in.

Note: This tool was developed in 2017 for a specific journalism project that's featured in Chapter 14 of Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations. It's no longer under development.

Getting started

Install dependencies:

$ python3 -m venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
(env) $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Initialize the database:

(venv) $ ./admin.py create-db
(venv) $ ./admin.py import-json [filename.json] # do this for each JSON file

To start the app:

(venv) $ ./app.py

Simple command line tool

You can also use discord-json-search to search an individual JSON file for keywords.
