How to Export Discord Channel Data: An Updated Guide

If You are looking for a way to export Discord channel data, you have come to the right place. In this guide, we will walk you through the updated process of downloading your Discord channel's direct messages and server information. While the process has changed a little bit, it is still relatively simple to accomplish. Before we dive into the steps, let's address some commonly asked questions to ensure you are fully informed about what to expect.

Commonly Asked Questions

1. Can you download data from locked channels and servers?

   • Unfortunately, this method does not grant any extra features to download data from locked channels and servers. You will only be able to download data from accessible channels and servers.

2. Can you download deleted data messages and servers?

   • No, you cannot download deleted data, including messages and servers. Once data is deleted, it is permanently removed from Discord and cannot be retrieved using this method.

3. Can you restore a server using this data?

   • No, this method does not allow you to restore a server using the downloaded data. It is important to note that this process does not grant any additional permissions beyond what is already available to you in Discord.

4. Can you get banned for using this method?

   • Theoretically, it is possible to get banned for using this method, but it is highly unlikely. Many users, including myself, have been using this method for years without any issues. Discord does not explicitly ban accounts for using this method, but it is always recommended to use it at your own risk.

5. Is it safe to use your token like this?

   • Using your token in this manner is technically safe because you can change your password and generate a new token afterward. It is advisable to change your password periodically for added security. Additionally, having two-factor authentication enabled provides an extra layer of protection for your account.

The Process

Now, let's get into the step-by-step process of exporting your Discord channel data using the updated method.

1. Downloading the Client

   • Visit the GitHub page (link in the description) and download the latest version of the client in a zip file. Extract the contents of the zip file.

2. Opening Discord Chat Explorer

   • Ensure you have Discord open in your browser (not the app) and are signed into the account from which you want to copy the data. Open Discord Chat Explorer and accept any security Prompts.

3. Installing net runtime

   • If your Windows computer does not have net runtime automatically installed, download and install it. This step is necessary for using Discord Chat Exporter.

4. Opening Discord Chat Exporter

   • Open the Discord Chat Exporter client. You may encounter a prompt, which you can disregard. This tool has been trusted and used by many users.

5. Finding the Authorization Code

   • In your browser's developer tools, press Ctrl+Shift+I to open the developer tools panel. Navigate to the "Network" tab and press Ctrl+R to refresh the page. Find the option named "messages?limit=50" and locate the "Authorization" code. Copy this code.

6. Connecting to Your Account

   • Paste the copied authorization code into the Discord Chat Exporter client and click the arrow to connect to your account.

7. Exporting Text Channels

   • In the Discord Chat Exporter client, select the text channel(s) you want to export. Choose the desired file format (HTML Lite is recommended) and specify the location to save the file. Click "Save" to begin the export process. Depending on the size of your channel or chat, the export may take some time.
