# GPT_scraper



UPDATE!!!



Hello again!, with the new updates on chatgpt webpage its not possible to do this anymore. I've got the same error ever and ever again (Forbiden 403) and it's because openai it's working with cloudflare service, this kind of services do things like block certain ips based on machine learning algorithms, Cloudflare employs techniques like JavaScript challenges to protect websites from scraping bots. Im working on a new version, its a little tricky to scrape sites like this. Also the backend api seems to work diferently since the new updates, and probably they will change a lot of things again soon. I will post soon a new version of the scraper and conversations bot (using selenium only, this was the only way that worked for me and trust i try harded this one jajaj)



# NOT SUPORTED ANYMORE, SINCE A NEW REPO WITH AN UPDATED VERSION

This repository provides a way to scrape full user history (or use) ChatGPT through 2 methods: frontend API based or Selenium based, both have their own pros. It can be helpful for avoiding the usage of API credits while still using ChatGPT programmatically.



A collection of chatgpt scripts. You don't have to use any API_KEY! so it's a great way to save credits and still use the power of chat-gpt programmatically.



There are 3 main tools for now:



1) Backend API Scraper (dont need API_KEY just headers from your current session)

2) Selenium Scraper

3) Store a new conversation



## Requirements

- Python 3.x (https://www.python.org/downloads/)

- Postman or insomnia (https://www.postman.com/downloads/) or  (https://insomnia.rest/download)

- Google Chrome (version 111 or later)

- ChromeDriver (https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads)

- requests==2.25.1

- selenium==4.8.3

- beautifulsoup4==4.12.0

- pandas==1.5.3

- python-dotenv==1.0.0



To install the required Python packages, run:



pip install -r requirements.txt



For ChromeDriver, download the appropriate version for your system from the [official website](https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads), extract it on some folder and finally move the executable file to the `C:/` folder.



## Usage

1. First, log in to Chat GPT using your main Google Chrome application.



choose one tool to test:

# I) Scrape with backend api

2. with your chat gpt opened in a chrome tab press CTRL+SHIFT+I to inspect the page

3. go to "Network" and filter by "Fetch/XHR" and then refresh the page (or F5). click one of the previous conversations

4. look for conversations?offset=0&limit=20 and for something like "e1dbb0b1-2567-48cd-b2c0-0bcda815d7yd"

    (this are the 2 backend hidden apis headers that we will use)

5. secondary click on each and copy as cURL (bash)



6.1. if you use postman, create a collection and click on "import", select "Raw text" and paste the cURL (bash) from conversations?offset=0&limit=20, click "send", you should have a "200" response , then do the same for the other endpoint (the one that looks similiar to this "e1dbb0b1-2567-48cd-b2c0-0bcda815d7yd")



6.2  if you use insomnia, create a new request and paste to the request  (bash) from conversations?offset=0&limit=20 , , click "send", you should have a "200" response (then do the same for the other (the one that looks similiar to this "e1dbb0b1-2567-48cd-b2c0-0bcda815d7yd")



*note*: with this endpoint-> "conversations?offset=0&limit=20" we get each conversation_id, creation_time and title

        with this endpoint-> "e1dbb0b1-2567-48cd-b2c0-0bcda815d7yd" we get the actual conversation (then we iterate by conversation id)



7. In the program (postman or insomnia) hit the "code" button, the one that looks like >

8. Choose "python - requests" as lenguage and from each request copy the "headers" dictionary

9. Change the name of the "headers" file to "headers.py" and paste the corresponding headers



ids_header = { copy here the "conversations?offset=0&limit=20" headers from the code provided by postman/insomnia}

conversation_header = {copy here the "e1dbb0b1-2567-48cd-b2c0-0bcda815d7yd" headers from the code provided by postman/insomnia}



10. Run the `api_scraper.py` script in your terminal (cd to the desired folder or open the project on your code editor):



python api_scraper.py



11. Wait for the program to finish. In order to dont get blocked for too many request i put a random time limit (2~5 secs) between each conversation fetch.

12. Look for the results (json or csv) in the "outputs" folder

13. If you want to do it again later in time, you will have to do the process of obtaining the headers again



# II) Scrape with selenium

1. Close chrome ( This script relies on the user's browsing history, so it will not work if you have another instance of Chrome open)

2. Run the `scraper.py` script in your terminal (cd to the desired folder or open the project on your code editor):



python scraper.py



3. Look for the results (json or csv) in the "outputs" folder



# III) conversations.py

1. Close chrome ( This script relies on the user's browsing history, so it will not work if you have another instance of Chrome open)



2. Run the `conversations.py` script in your terminal (cd to the desired folder or open the project on your code editor):



python scraper.py



3. Interact with chat gpt prompting your questions



4. Close the conversation with one of this options ['exit', 'quit','bye','goodbye','adios','hasta luego','hasta la vista','chao','chau','nos vemos','nos vemos luego','nos vemos pronto','nos vemos luego','nos vemos','until next time','talk to you later','see you soon','take care']



5. Look for your results on the project folder in the json file created with the date of the conversation in this format "%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S" for example : 

  conversation_2023-03-13_12-33-05.json

  

If you were looking for use chatgpt via api, you could have some idea using this repo:  (https://github.com/rodolflying/SimpleGPT_Assist).  this way you use directly the openai API (it uses credits acording to the tokens you use in each prompt).

  

TODO:

In future versions i will provide code to filter information, classify the info in custom categories with help of some ML and IA algorithms! and calculate helpful nlp insights. Let me know if you have some idea here (https://medium.com/@rodolfo.antonio.sep/scraping-all-your-conversations-with-chatgpt-made-easy-with-gpt-scrape-51da8fb97911).
