  • Export went admin-only on company plans

    On ChatGPT Business, Team and Enterprise, exporting and accessing data is an administrator function — individual seats have no self-service way to download their own conversations, per OpenAI's managed-account docs. If you're on a company plan, your chat history is your admin's to release, not yours.

  • One file, and your chats are out

    The open-source export-chatgpt tool pulls every conversation — JSON, Markdown, plus DALL·E images and canvas docs — using your session bearer token against ChatGPT's backend API. It's resumable, needs only Node 18+, and is confirmed working on Team/Business seats.
