ChatGPT Exporter ULTIMATE

🔗 Part of the OpenClaw Ecosystem — This skill is part of a larger AI agent revamp project. Full project: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw

Export all ChatGPT conversations in seconds — no waiting for OpenAI's 24-hour export email.

Usage

Export my ChatGPT conversations

Requirements

User must attach their Chrome ChatGPT tab via browser relay
User must be logged into ChatGPT

How It Works

Attach browser - User clicks OpenClaw toolbar icon on chatgpt.com tab
Inject script - Agent injects background export script
Fetch all - Script fetches all conversations via internal API
Download - JSON file auto-downloads to user's Downloads folder

Technical Details

Authentication

ChatGPT's internal API requires a Bearer token from /api/auth/session:

const session = await fetch('/api/auth/session', { credentials: 'include' });
const { accessToken } = await session.json();

API Endpoints

| Endpoint | Purpose | |----------|---------| | /api/auth/session | Get access token | | /backend-api/conversations?offset=N&limit=100 | List conversations | | /backend-api/conversation/{id} | Get full conversation |

Export Script

The agent injects a self-running script that:

Fetches the access token
Paginates through all conversations (100 per page)
Fetches each conversation's full content
Extracts messages from the mapping tree
Creates JSON blob and triggers download

Progress Tracking

window.__exportStatus = { phase: 'fetching', progress: N, total: M }

Output Format

{
  "exported": "2026-02-06T11:10:09.699Z",
  "conversations": [
    {
      "id": "abc123",
      "title": "Conversation Title",
      "created": 1770273234.966738,
      "messages": [
        { "role": "user", "text": "...", "time": 1770273234 },
        { "role": "assistant", "text": "...", "time": 1770273240 }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Rate Limits

100ms delay between conversation fetches
~3 minutes for 200 conversations
ChatGPT allows ~100 requests/minute

Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | No tab attached | Click OpenClaw toolbar icon on ChatGPT tab | | 401 error | Log into ChatGPT and re-attach tab | | Export stuck | Check browser console for errors | | No download | Check Downloads folder / browser settings |
