Description

A script for exporting Campfire room messages to CSV.

It does a very small bit of monkey-patching of Tinder to make it work for rooms which have been "removed", which was my original use case.

Dependencies

• Ruby (tested with v2.0.0p195 & v2.2.1p85)
• Bundler
• Tinder (in Gemfile)
• Dotenv (in Gemfile)

Installation

• Use git to clone the repository or download it as a zip file.
• Install the bundle with bundle install.

Execution

• Set the following environment variables (in .env file or otherwise):

  • CAMPFIRE_SUBDOMAIN
  • CAMPFIRE_API_TOKEN
  • CAMPFIRE_ROOM_ID
  • CAMPFIRE_ROOM_NAME

• Specify start date as first command line argument.

• Redirect stdout to a file as desired.

  $ ruby export.rb 2013-01-27 >my-campfire-room-messages.csv
