## Introduction
HistoryExtractor is a Python utility aimed at exporting Chromium-based browser history and downloads data to various formats such as CSV, XLSX, and TXT. Designed with a focus on user flexibility, this tool provides customizable extraction options to suit different needs.
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.7+
## Installation
### Method 1: Using pip
You can install `histexport` directly using pip:
```
pip install histexport
```
### Method 2: From GitHub Repository
1. Clone the GitHub repository.
```
git clone https://github.com/darkarp/histexport.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory.
```
cd histexport
```
3. Install the required Python packages.
```
pip install -e .
```
Either of these methods will install the required Python packages and make `histexport` available for use.
## Usage
### Command Line Interface
1. Basic extraction of URLs and Downloads in `txt`:
```
histexport -i path/to/history/history_file -o output_file
```
2. Specify output directory and formats:
```
histexport -i path/to/history/history_file -o output_file -d path/to/output -f csv xlsx
```
3. Enable logging (`-l`):
```
histexport -i path/to/history/history_file -o output_file -l
```
4. Extract from a folder of SQLite files:
```
histexport -i path/to/history_folder -t folder -o output_file -d path/to/output -f csv xlsx -e urls downloads
```
#### Arguments
- `-i`, `--input`: Path to the SQLite history file. (required)
- `-t`, `--type`: Type of the input: file or folder. Default is file
- `-o`, `--output`: Base name for output files. (required)
- `-d`, `--dir`: Output directory. (optional, default is `./`)
- `-f`, `--formats`: Output formats (csv, xlsx, txt). (optional, default is `txt`)
- `-e`, `--extract`: Data to extract (urls, downloads). (optional, default is both)
- `-l`, `--log`: Enable logging. (optional, default is disabled.
- `-l 1`: CRITICAL
- `-l 2`: ERROR
- `-l 3`: WARNING
- `-l 4`: INFO
- `-l 5`: DEBUG
- `-v`, `--version`: Show version.
## Data Extraction
The tool allows extraction of:
- URLs: Fetches `URL`, `Title`, `Visit_Count`, and `Last_Visit_Time`.
- Downloads: Extracts `Target_Path`, `Start_Time`, `End_Time`, `Total_Bytes`, `Received_Bytes`, and `URL`.
## Output Formats
You can export the data into:
- CSV
- XLSX (Excel)
- TXT (Pretty printed text file)
