From https://gist.github.com/lmarkus/8722f56baf8c47045621

Modified @griffero's ruby script from https://gist.github.com/lmarkus/8722f56baf8c47045621?permalink_comment_id=4020434#gistcomment-4020434

⚠️ Use only in moderation on Slack workspaces that you have permission to access! ⚠️

How to Run

  1. Make sure docker and docker-compose are installed
  2. Download the list of emojis as a JSON file (see below) and save the file as ./app/emojis.json
  3. Run docker-compose up --build to build the image and start the container in the foreground
  4. Watch the logs as emojis are downloaded
  5. To stop the container early, use Ctrl-C; otherwise, the container should gracefully exit once it's done
  6. Check the logs to see if any downloads encountered network errors and download manually following the directions in the log, which should say something like Manually download using: curl -o <filename> <url>
  7. Files will be saved to the output folder

Getting the list of emojis

Extract the JSON list of emojis as directed in the gist linked at the top of this file.

However, if you have issues with the methods described there, try the following (directions for Firefox):

  1. Navigate to https://<workspace>.slack.com/customize/emoji (you must have permission to access this page)
  2. Open the Network pane in the browser's developer tools and refresh
  3. Click on filename that starts with emoji.adminList or emoji.list
  4. In the side panel, click on the "Response" tab
  5. If the count is less than or equal to the total: toggle "Raw" to true, copy the JSON, and save to a file
  6. If the count is less than the total (adapted from https://gist.github.com/lmarkus/8722f56baf8c47045621?permalink_comment_id=3535987#gistcomment-3535987):
    1. Note down what the total is
    2. Right click on the filename that starts with emoji.adminList and click "Edit and resend"
    3. Edit the "Request Body" so that Content-Disposition: form-data; name="count" is set to the total
    4. Click "Resend"
    5. Click on the new network request that was just sent
    6. Click on the "Response" tab and toggle "Raw" to true
    7. Copy the JSON and save to a file
  7. If the resulting JSON is too large:
    1. Right click on the filename that starts with emoji.adminList and click "Edit and resend"
    2. Edit the "Request Body" so that Content-Disposition: form-data; name="count" is set to 1000
    3. Click "Resend"
    4. Click on the new network request that was just sent
    5. Click on the "Response" tab and toggle "Raw" to true
    6. Copy the JSON and save to a file
    7. Right click on newest emoji.adminList filename and click "Edit and resend"
    8. Edit the "Request Body" so that Content-Disposition: form-data; name="page" is incremented by 1
    9. Repeat above steps 3-8 until all pages are downloaded
