Usage

vkimexp [OPTIONS] PEERS...

PEER should be VK ID of a person or a conversation in question (several PEERs can be provided at once). To find PEER of a person, open this page: https://vk.com/im and select the required dialog, and then his/her VK ID will appear in the address bar like this:

https://vk.com/im?sel=1234567890                                               

where 1234567890 is a numeric ID in question. Use this number as PEER, e.g. for a person with VK ID 1234567890 the command is:

vkimexp 1234567890                                                             

For group conversations there is no VK ID in the URL, as they are identified differently, by their index. Nevertheless, take this number (together with 'c'!) and provide it as is, the application will figure out VK ID of a conversation by itself:

https://vk.com/im?sel=c195  =>  vkimexp c195
