Dumping Users or Channels

[Index]

Contents

General Information

Both Users and Channels dump modes support the following flags:

  • -format - sets the output format, can be text, json or csv. 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.
  • -q - quiet mode, suppresses all output except errors.

Dumping users

To view all users, run:

slackdump list users

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

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

slackdump list channels -no-user-cache

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
DHMAXXXXX    -     -      @slackbot
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.
