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

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

How It Works

1. Attach browser - User clicks OpenClaw toolbar icon on chatgpt.com tab
2. Inject script - Agent injects background export script
3. Fetch all - Script fetches all conversations via internal API
4. 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:

1. Fetches the access token
2. Paginates through all conversations (100 per page)
3. Fetches each conversation's full content
4. Extracts messages from the mapping tree
5. 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",

      ]
    }
  ]
}
