Dumping Users or Channels

[Index]

Contents

General Information

Both Users and Channels dump modes support the following flags:

  • -r - sets the output format, can be text or json. Default is text.
  • -o - optional flag to set the output filename. If output filename is not specified, the Users or Channels will be printed on the screen.

Dumping users

To view all users, run:

slackdump -list-users

or:

slackdump -u

If the channel list in your Slack Workspace is too large, you can skip the caching of users by specifying the -no-user-cache flag:

slackdump -no-user-cache

In this case, the users will not be cached. This flag works with both generic dump and Slack Export modes.

Viewing Conversations

To view all Conversations, that are visible to your account, including group conversations, archived chats and public channels, run:

slackdump -list-channels

or:

slackdump -c

The output may look like this:

2021/10/31 17:32:34 initializing...
2021/10/31 17:32:35 retrieving data...
2021/10/31 17:32:35 done
ID           Arch  Saved  What
CHXXXXXXX    -     -      #everything
CHXXXXXXX    -     -      #everyone
CHXXXXXXX    -     -      #random

DNF3XXXXX    -     -      @alice
DLY4XXXXX    -     -      @bob

Please note, that if your Workspace contains a large amount of channels, the channel listing will take a long time to run.

The Slack Worskpace of 20,000 channels takes around 1 hour to retrieve the channel information from Slack. Why? Because Slack rate limits are tough, and even adhering to those limits may get you rate limited.
