Simple script to log kick chats

Kick Chat Logger

Kick Chat Logger is a Python script using Selenium to automate logging chat messages from a specified webpage into a text file. This tool continually monitors chat messages, capturing their senders’ usernames and timestamps, and saving this data in a chat_log.txt file.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following components are installed:

• Python
• Selenium
• ChromeDriver

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/BenBreaksIn/KickChatLogger.git

2. Change directory into the cloned repository:

   cd KickChatLogger

3. Run the script:

   python chat_logger.py

   The chat messages will be logged into the chat_log.txt file in the same directory.

Code Structure

• The script starts by initializing a set to keep track of processed messages and avoid duplications.
• A function stream_chat():
  • Opens or creates chat_log.txt for storing logged messages.
  • Constantly checks for new messages in the chat.
  • Logs new messages with timestamps to both the console and the chat_log.txt file.
• Selenium WebDriver is employed to interact with the chat webpage.
• Main part of the script:
  • Initializes WebDriver.
  • Navigates to the specific chat page.
  • Begins the stream_chat() function to start monitoring and logging the messages.

Customization

• Customize the URL by updating the url variable with the link to your preferred chat page.
• Sleep intervals within the script may be adjusted based on the webpage's responsiveness.
