"First of all you should ensure that you have a SQLite DB console client. It's provided in MacOS by default, or you can download appropriate binary from SQLite Home Page. (e.g. for Windows: Page on sqlite.org. it is tiny in size and needs neither installation nor configuration)
Then you should go to your Chrome directory (eg. in my case "C:\Users\Sashka\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default") locate History file run in command prompt
sqlite History "select datetime(last_visit_time/1000000-11644473600,'unixepoch'),url from urls order by last_visit_time desc" > history_export.txt
Yep, this is single-line loooooong command. Also command does not dependent on operation system you use.
You would get a plain ASCII file history_export.txt where you find readable dump of your browser history."
Unfortunately not my words, as Chrome is not my forte, but it's the best answer I could find.
Ryan Hill is perfectly correct, SQLite is becoming very common as a data format because the DB engine can be embedded in your own software.
The result is that you need to install the client to interrogate the DB that contains the saved data. This may well violate your third party application requirement but you don't really have any other option, it's either that or an extension.
If this is a works machine you want to do this with, a nicely written request to your System Administrator can sometimes work wonders.
