#fbmdown - Facebook Message Downloader

This is my small pet project but it might be useful for someone.

It does what is in its name: downloads whole conversation threads from your Facebook inbox folder!

Run `fbmdown-cli.py` and follow the help.

##How to get an Access Token?

- Go to [Graph API Explorer](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer)

- Click on `Get Access Token`

- Deselect all except the `read_mailbox` under `Extended Permissions`

- Click `Allow` in the pop-up. This will allow the `Graph API Explorer` app to access your inbox

- Select and copy the text from `Access Token` and insert it into `fbmdown.py` where it is needed

- Enjoy!
