Emoji transfer

For when you want to move your custom emojis from slack to some other tool

How to download slack custom emojis

• install jq
• set up your credentials in credentials.sh
  • org_name is the name of your organisation, you can determine it from the URL when you access your account settings in slack's web UI. The URL will be of the format <org_name>.slack.com
  • auth_cookie_value is the value of the d cookie when browsing <org_name>.slack.com while logged in
  • token_value is the authentication token value that your browser sends when fetching emoji information via the web ui
    • browse to https://<org_name>.slack.com/customize/emoji, inspect the source code and search for api_token. Alternatively, inspect your browser's traffic while on that page and look for requests that send the token field as form data
• execute ./grab_slack_emojis.sh from your terminal
• the script will create a folder called emojis and inside one folder per emoji named after the emoji name, which contains the emoji image file
• in case you have a lot of emojis, you might need to tune the max_emojis_fetched parameter
