Sebastian Krüger a0d5006cf5 feat: add Open WebUI code export script via REST API

Added Python script to extract and save code blocks from Open WebUI
chat conversations to local disk using the REST API.

Features:
- Export code blocks from specific chats or all chats
- Automatic language detection and proper file extensions
- Organizes files by chat title with metadata
- No Docker modifications needed
- Remote access support via SSH tunnel or public URL

Usage:
  python3 ai/webui-export.py --all --output-dir ./exports
  python3 ai/webui-export.py --chat-id <id> --output-dir ./code

This replaces the complex SFTP integration with a simple API-based
approach that's easier to maintain and use.

Open WebUI Code Export

Simple Python script to export code blocks from Open WebUI chat conversations to your local disk using the REST API.

Features

Export code blocks from specific chats or all chats
Automatically detects language and saves with proper file extension
Organizes files by chat title
Saves metadata (timestamp, role, language) alongside code
No Docker modifications needed - uses REST API

Requirements

pip install requests

Usage

Export specific chat

First, get your chat ID from the URL when viewing a chat in Open WebUI:

URL format: https://ai.pivoine.art/c/<chat_id>
Example: https://ai.pivoine.art/c/abc123def456

# Export single chat
python ai/webui-export.py --chat-id abc123def456 --output-dir ./my-code

# Export from remote server
python ai/webui-export.py --base-url https://ai.pivoine.art --chat-id abc123def456 --output-dir ./my-code

Export all chats

# Export all chats
python ai/webui-export.py --all --output-dir ./all-code

# Export from remote server
python ai/webui-export.py --base-url https://ai.pivoine.art --all --output-dir ./all-code

With authentication (if needed)

# If API key authentication is required
python ai/webui-export.py --api-key your-api-key --all --output-dir ./my-code

Output Structure

│   ├── 000-00.py                    # First code block from first message
│   ├── 000-00.py.meta.json          # Metadata
│   ├── 001-00.py                    # First code block from second message
│   └── 001-00.py.meta.json
└── Database Schema Design/

    └── 000-00.sql.meta.json

Remote Usage (VPS)

To export code from Open WebUI running on your VPS:

# SSH tunnel to access the API
ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 root@vps

# In another terminal, export chats
python ai/webui-export.py --all --output-dir ~/Projects/webui-exports

Or directly via the public URL:

python ai/webui-export.py --base-url https://ai.pivoine.art --all --output-dir ~/Projects/webui-exports

Supported Languages

The script automatically detects and saves with proper extensions:

Python (.py)
JavaScript/TypeScript (.js/.ts)
Shell scripts (.sh)
SQL (.sql)
HTML/CSS (.html/.css)
JSON/YAML (.json/.yaml)
And many more...

Tips

Find chat IDs: Look at the URL bar when viewing a conversation
Regular exports: Run --all periodically to backup your code
Integration: Add to cron job for automatic backups
Local testing: Run locally first with --base-url http://localhost:8080

Example Workflow

# 1. Have a conversation with Claude in Open WebUI where code is generated
# 2. Note the chat ID from URL (or use --all)
# 3. Export the code
python ai/webui-export.py --chat-id abc123 --output-dir ~/Projects/new-feature

# 4. The code is now in ~/Projects/new-feature/Chat Title/000-00.py
# 5. Review, modify, and use as needed

Automation

Add to crontab for daily exports:

# Edit crontab
crontab -e

# Add daily export at 2 AM
0 2 * * * cd ~/Projects/docker-compose && python ai/webui-export.py --base-url https://ai.pivoine.art --all --output-dir ~/Projects/webui-exports
