Grep for GroupMe
For something similar that runs in the browser, take a look at https://www.searchme.co/ instead.
Do you wish GroupMe had a search function? Me too. That's why I wrote GrepMe, a command line search tool for GroupMe that's featureful and easy to use.
pip install grepme- Create your login token on https://dev.groupme.com/applications -> Create Application None of the info there is used in grepme, you can give garbage values.
- Run grepme. You should be prompted for your login token.
If you type your token wrong, you can use -D and grepme will prompt you again,
e.g. grepme -D some_text
- Search case-insensitive for 'school':
grepme -i school - Show every message from every group you're in:
grepme '.*' - Search in a specific group:
grepme --group USCCyber api - Filter by date:
grepme -d '.*' | grep 2018 - Search by user:
grepme -u Joshua '.*' - Show all available groups:
grepme -l - Show version:
grepme -V - Show messages newer than 1 week:
grepme --json '.*' | jq -r "select(.created_at > $(date -d '1 week ago' +%s)) | .text" - Show at most 10 messages:
grepme --json '.*' | head -n 10 | jq -r '.name, .text'
$ grepme -i swear --group 'ACM$'
Huиter Damroи: I work in the IBM building but I can meet you at Swearingen or anywhere.
Matthew Clapp: Is anybody in Swearingen?
ℬℜΔƉѰ: Can someone confirm that the Airport monitors in Swearingen have a Code-a-thon announcement?
Justin Baum: Hey does anyone know who I should email so my Carolina Card can get me into Swearingen?

GrepMe uses configparse for configuration,
see its documentation for details. For example, I use the following configuration
in ~/.config/grepme.toml, which searches only in 'ACM' by default:
group = "^ACM$"usage: grepme [-h] [-g GROUP] [-l] [-q] [-d] [-i] [-a AFTER_CONTEXT]
[-b BEFORE_CONTEXT] [-c CONTEXT] [-u USER] [-o] [-v] [-V] [-D]
[--clear-cache] [--color | --no-color] [--json] [-f | -F]
regex [regex ...]
