-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Webex Teams Archiver extracts the messages and files out of a Webex Teams room and saves them in text, HTML, and JSON formats.

Example
-------

.. code-block:: python

    from webexteamsarchiver import WebexTeamsArchiver

    personal_token = "mytoken"
    archiver = WebexTeamsArchiver(personal_token)
    
    # room id from https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/rooms/list-rooms
    room_id = "Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vd2ViZXh0ZWFtc2FyY2hpdmVy"
    archiver.archive_room(room_id)
    
Produces the following files:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ ls 
    Title_Timestamp.tgz
    Title_Timestamp

    $ ls Title_Timestamp/
    Title_Timestamp.html
    Title_Timestamp.json
    Title_Timestamp.txt
    attachments/
    avatars/
    space_details.json

Below is an example of a simple room that got archived.

Note 1: The HTML version of the archive requires Internet connectivity because of the CSS, which is not packaged with the archive because of licensing conflicts.

Note 2: Please note that use of the Webex Teams Archiver may violate the retention policy, if any, applicable to your use of Webex Teams.
