Group chat history is only exported by users with admin permission only. However, a normal user can export his 1-1 history chat via Hipchat API.
Below is a simple script to export 1-1 history chat.

How to generate your hipchat access token: An access token is used in place of user and password parameters.

• Login to your hipchat account on a web browser
• Go to Account Setting by clicking on your person icon in the upper, right corner.
• Select API Access.
• Generate a token with suitable scope (Select "View Messages" in this case since we want to get the history chat)

How to the user ID: User ID is the the ID of the user that you want to get the history chat.

• Click to open chat with the user
• The user ID is from the URL
