How can I save the logs of a Facebook chat conversation?
For long conversations, scrolling up thousand times (and waiting older messages are loaded) is a very long process.
Is there a good way (including scripting?) to log Facebook chat conversations easily?

Facebook Help Centre says:
Some other options:
There is a Chrome extension called Messages Saver for Facebook. You can choose whether to save your chat as just text, then only text messages will be saved, or as an .html file with all smileys, emoji, pictures and other files that you sent in your chat. Or even as a zip file with all the files of your chat saved locally to your computer.
There is a Firefox extension called FB Chat History Manager.
If you use an Android device, there's an app called Message Backup for Facebook. Log in to Facebook through the app, go to the conversation and download it. It would be saved in .CSV file.
Here is a python script to download Facebook chats.
Here is another Python script for Facebook scraper and parser.
