Exporting your chats from Claude.ai

I'm about to switch subscriptions for one of my Claude accounts, and as part of it, will lose access to any chats I had in the Claude.ai web view (and i.e. on apps, if I used them).

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to export these natively - maybe by design? - but fortunately, at least as of writing, we can take to the trusty Network tab.

  1. Open the Network tab
  2. Load a chat conversation i.e. https://claude.ai/chat/90000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000009
  3. Search for the conversation ID i.e. 90000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000009
  4. Find a URL https://claude.ai/api/organizations/a0000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001/chat_conversations/90000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000009?tree=True&rendering_mode=messages&render_all_tools=true&include_inline_comparison=true&consistency=strong
  5. Download the contents

This then gives you i.e.
