# fetch-matrix-access-token
## Why
The access token from Element can not be used for a different app (it seems).
With this simple script you can retrieve the access token and then use it for a different app since this script won't create any encryption.
## Requirements
* The matrix server, where the account is located, needs password-login enabled
* local environment requires nodejs, yarn and nvm
## Installation & setup
* `yarn install`
* `nvm use`
* run `cp config.js.example config.js`
* edit the `config.js`
## Fetching the key
* `yarn start`
The script will print the access token.
## Credits
This script is based on snippets from the documentation of [matrix-bot-sdk](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-bot-sdk)
