ICQ Parser

ICQ Parser

This tool is designed to provide a web-based view of the contents of the ICQ chat application.

It also parses the contents into JSON files which can be ingested into other tool-sets.

Usage

Install

python3 -m pip install icq-parser

Then:

playwright install chromium

This will install the chromium headless version for the desired system. It is only required once, before initial run, and thus
internet connectivity is required for this one time only.
