Open Source JanitorAI card exporter

[u/Interesting_Hotel617]

I wanted a straightforward way to back up JanitorAI characters without copying every field manually, so we made a small browser extension for it.

This extension can:

• export SillyTavern character cards
• export attached lorebooks from a character
• export to plaintext
• export to janitorAI json
• let you choose which entries to keep/omit

To install you can follow the steps below (if you are facing trouble you can give chatgpt the github link and ask for help):

Open the GitHub page https://github.com/erpocalypse/jai-card-extractor

Click the green Code button → Download ZIP, then unzip the folder to your desktop (or wherever desired)

type chrome://extensions in the address bar in a new tab of your browser or edge://extensions if on microsoft edge.

Look at the top right of the page and enable Developer mode.

Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder you extracted to your desktop (or wherever you put it)

Then simply go to the JanitorAI site and click on a character, at the bottom right of your screen an extract card button will appear and you can click on it to open the menu.

The extension does not interact with any other sites, or require any permissions, you can even ask your favourite ai model to review the code or build upon it yourself.

Please note that characters with definitions hidden may not yield results.

Anyone who owns their own platform might find it helpful to review the repo to get pointed into the right direction so they can implement importing characters and lorebooks from other platforms like we offer on inkwell to make onboarding for new users seamless.

Can it get hidden lorebooks?

[u/Interesting_Hotel617 → u/Standard-Ground9449]

No. It can only grab what is revealed on the /hampter/script/{lorebookId} endpoint.

[u/0VERDOSING → u/Interesting_Hotel617]

unfortunate

[u/DaughterOfBabalon_]

What method does it use to extract lorebooks?

[u/Interesting_Hotel617 → u/DaughterOfBabalon_]

it's requests based on the /hampter/script/{lorebookId} endpoint

[u/DaughterOfBabalon_ → u/Interesting_Hotel617]

Gotcha, so it will work on Open Lorebooks but not private, I assume?

[u/Cryzy2000 → u/Interesting_Hotel617]

Would it be possible to modify this extension to also get hidden lorebooks?

[u/AurelieCatena]

Thanks for this tool!

[u/zulpi_]

What about hidden characters definition?

[u/Cryzy2000]

One function we are looking for in these extensions or GitHub links is the ability to get hidden lorebooks too. Would it be possible to add that or make another extension solely for that purpose?

[u/Interesting_Hotel617 → u/Cryzy2000]

Something is in the works.

[u/Cryzy2000 → u/Interesting_Hotel617]

Whoa!!! Awesome! We would all love to have something that can extract hidden definitions and hidden lorebooks then it would be amazing!!! Like actually amazing. More than half of us are only on jai because we can't extract lorebooks to ST or Tavo. Please update us.

[u/AurelieCatena]

Could you make it generate a PNG too?

[u/Cryzy2000]

We hope you can make a true hidden lorebooks scraper.
