This software is not exactly if at all well tested, I hope you can overcome any issues you might encounter.
Clone or download this repository. Download Twemoji from https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/releases/tag/v2.5.1. Inside the archive find 72x72 subfolder and unpack it as an emoji folder into the repository root directory.
Install dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt or manually.
Specify any required options inside settings.py and run > python ./plot.py.
Dataset file is assumed to have the following CSV structure:
timestamp,text
timestamp,text
...
Timestamp is a standard UTC timestamp of when the text was posted / made. Script will search over all records for emoji and custom emoji. Custom emoji must appear in text in the following form:
<:emoji-name:optional-filesystem-path-or-url>
Custom emoji that don't have a path or url associated must be placed into custom_emoji directory as png images.
You can use this https://github.com/hermit-crab/discord-export to export whatever needed. Afterwards you can run the discord_convert.py script to convert extracted data into digestible CSV > python discord_convert.py database.jl > posts.csv.
- Message reactions are also taken into account unless you disabled their extraction.
