# Redact Matrix
|
|
|
|
Script that redacts (erases) every message in a room.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
#### Get your access token
|
|
|
|
On [Cinny](https://app.cinny.in), for example, go to Firefox's Inspect tool, to the Storage tab, and copy your `cinny_access_token`.
|
|
Other clients may have a similar key with this value, which is different for each session and is valid for as long as you don't log out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open the `redact_all_messages.py` script with your favorite text editor and set the value for `homeserver` with the domain of the matrix instance you're logged in, and the `access_token` with the value you just extracted from the browser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Get the Matrix room id
|
|
|
|
On Cinny you can do this by clicking on the room's name.
|
|
|
|
The id will be right below the title of the room, and it looks like this:
|
|
`!cdPNSVToruMtXqGznY:domain.tld`
|
|
|
|
#### Run the script
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python redact_all_messages.py '!cdPNSVToruMtXqGznY:domain.tld'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Note
|
|
|
|
It will redact (erasing) each of your contacts' comments too, so long as you got permissions over them, which is the case of every private message room. |
