Convert a Claude.ai export to SQLite

Convert a Claude.ai export to SQLite

Installation

Install this tool using pip:

pip install claude-to-sqlite

Usage

Start by exporting your Claude data. You will be emailed a link to a zip file (though it may be missing the .zip extension).

Run the command like this:

claude-to-sqlite claude-export.zip claude.db

Now claude.db will be a SQLite containing the conversations and messages from your Claude export.

You can explore that using Datasette:

datasette claude.db

Database schema

Assuming the Claude export JSON has not changed since this tool was last released on 20th October 2024 the database tables should look like this:

CREATE TABLE [conversations] (
   [uuid] TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
   [name] TEXT,
   [created_at] TEXT,
   [updated_at] TEXT,
   [account_id] TEXT
);
CREATE TABLE [messages] (
   [uuid] TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
   [text] TEXT,
   [sender] TEXT,
   [created_at] TEXT,
   [updated_at] TEXT,
   [attachments] TEXT,
   [files] TEXT,
   [conversation_id] TEXT REFERENCES [conversations]([uuid])
);
