It is necessary to regularly (e.g., once a minute) obtain a list of messages from a specific public Viber chat and transmit them in a structured form to the next layer of the application.

I would like to see this in the format of a plug-in Python module with some interface that has not yet been discussed. This is not a final solution; it is a subject for discussion.

A method for data extraction needs to be proposed. From those I see, these are:

1. Rewrite one of the Qt modules on the basis of which the Viber UI is built, replace the original with it, and listen in

2. Hack the encrypted database that is stored in the user folder and where Viber puts all the information and texts as well

3. Set up automatic OCR

4. Any other method. I am open to discussion

I personally consider the most promising method to be hacking the database. For this, it seems to me, it will be necessary to decompile the program and figure out the password generation algorithm. I have an example of a utility in which this algorithm is successfully implemented, but there is a nuance.

Hello! I am ready to create a Python module for regular extraction of messages from Viber and transferring them to the application. Work plan:

Decoding the database: I will decrypt the Viber SQLite database to access the messages.
Creating the module: I will develop a class with methods for extracting (extract_messages) and formatting data (format_data) in a convenient format for you, such as JSON.
Automation: I will set up regular data updates at intervals (for example, once a minute) through the method schedule_extraction.
After testing, the module will be ready for use for stable and secure data transfer. I am ready to discuss the details!
