Description
Export any ChatGPT conversation as raw JSON — full tree with branches, edits, and regenerations. By GerTex, LLC. ChatGPT Exporter by GerTex adds a single "Export JSON" button to the ChatGPT interface. Click it, and the full conversation downloads to your computer as a .json file — not just the messages you can see, but the complete conversation tree that ChatGPT's backend stores: every branch, every edit, every regeneration, every tool call, and all associated metadata. Built by GerTex, LLC — German Engineering In Texas. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT YOU GET IN THE JSON ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ - Conversation title, creation time, update time, and conversation ID - Model slug(s) used throughout the conversation - The full "mapping" tree: every message node with parent/child pointers - All branches — including ones you regenerated away from or edited over - Message authors (user, assistant, system, tool), content parts, and per-message metadata - The current_node pointer marking the leaf of your currently-selected branch - Moderation results, attachments metadata, and any other fields ChatGPT's backend returns This is the same payload ChatGPT's own web app uses internally — no trimming, no lossy reformatting. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY RAW JSON? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ - Archiving — keep a permanent, machine-readable copy of important chats - Analysis — feed conversations into your own tooling, notebooks, or scripts - Migration — move context into other LLM clients or self-hosted chat UIs - Compliance & recordkeeping — preserve the full conversational state, not just the rendered text - Debugging prompt workflows — inspect regenerations and branches that the ChatGPT UI hides ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Open any conversation on chatgpt.com (or chat.openai.com). 2. An "Export JSON" button appears in the header next to Share. 3. Click it — a .json file with the conversation title downloads instantly. The button only appears when an actual conversation is open. On the new-chat view there's nothing to export, so nothing is shown. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY — THIS IS IMPORTANT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ - No data collection. No telemetry. No analytics. No tracking. - No GerTex server is ever contacted. At all. - The extension only talks to ChatGPT's own domains (chatgpt.com / chat.openai.com) using your existing login session — the exact same API the ChatGPT web app uses. - Your exported JSON is saved directly to your own Downloads folder. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. - Minimum permissions: host access to ChatGPT's domains (to inject the button and fetch the conversation). No API permissions are declared at all.

Walk from "current_node" up through "parent" pointers to reconstruct the visible conversation; traverse "children" from the root to see every branch. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SUPPORT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Questions, bug reports, or feature requests: https://gertex.us GerTex, LLC — German Engineering In Texas Full-stack development · Database management · System integration · Cloud infrastructure · IT consulting
