Export your PlayStation Network play history to CSV/JSON and build an AI-ready taste profile, entirely on your machine.

psnstats

Export your PlayStation Network play history to CSV/JSON and build an AI-ready taste profile, entirely on your machine.

psnstats pulls every PS4/PS5 title you've played, with real playtime and play counts, into plain .csv and .json files you own. Add --analyze and it also scores each game, derives five player traits, and writes a preferences.json you can hand to an AI agent to get recommendations that actually fit how you play.

Your NPSSO session token is only ever sent to Sony. Nothing else leaves your machine.

Why

The most-starred "PSN API" projects — psn-api, psn-php, and psnawp (which this is built on) — are developer libraries: they hand you raw endpoints, not files. The only end-user tools scrape a third-party website. Nothing shipped turns your library into files you own, and nothing anywhere computes a taste profile from it.

psnstats is the first end-user tool on Sony's own API with playtime export, multi-format output, delta compare, and a taste-analysis layer.

• You own the files. Exophase and PSNProfiles show your stats on their website. psnstats gives you .csv and .json on disk to keep, diff, and feed to other tools.
• Playtime and taste. Plenty of scrapers can list your trophies. Nothing else turns your actual playtime into an enjoyment model and a portable taste profile for an AI agent.
• Local-first. No account, no server, no telemetry. Your NPSSO token is sent only to Sony's own API.

It deliberately skips the social surface (friends, presence, messaging, search) — that's what the libraries are for. This is a tool, not a wrapper.

Quickstart

Install with pipx (isolated) or pip:

pipx install awesome-psnstats     # console command is: psnstats

Get your NPSSO token (a session cookie):

1. Log in to playstation.com in your browser.
2. In the same browser, open https://ca.account.sony.com/api/v1/ssocookie.
3. Copy the 64-character npsso value from the JSON.

Run it:

export PSN_NPSSO="paste_your_token_here"
psnstats --analyze

That writes ./psn-export/ with your library CSV, a JSON export, and preferences.json.

The taste model

With --analyze, every game gets an enjoyment score (0-100), a weighted blend of four signals:

enjoyment = 0.35 * playtime (log-scaled)
          + 0.25 * recency  (90-day half-life decay)
          + 0.20 * completion (neutral 50 without --trophies)
          + 0.20 * replay    (play count + long-session bonuses)

Two abandonment penalties then apply: -15 if you bounced early (under 20% complete after 3+ sessions) and -10 if you stalled late (10+ hours in, under 40% complete). Completion signals require --trophies; without it, completion goes neutral.

From the per-game scores it derives five player traits (each 0-100):

• Snackable — do you play in short, frequent bursts?
• Marathon — or long single sittings?
• Completionist — how far into games do you push?
• Friction tolerance — do you stick with hard/slow games or drop them?
• Variety — how spread across platforms/kinds of games are you?

And an agent_features block: a preferred session style, commitment style, platform recency split, and plain-language positive/avoid signals — plus the exact weights and thresholds used, so an AI can reason about why.

Hand it to an AI

preferences.json is designed to be pasted straight into a chat with an AI:

Here is my PlayStation taste profile as JSON. Based on the traits, enjoyment scores, and positive/avoid signals, recommend 5 games I haven't played that fit how I actually play — and for each, say which signal it matches.

{ ...paste the contents of preferences.json... }

The filename stays stable (never dated), so you can point a tool or agent at ./psn-export/preferences.json and re-run monthly to keep it fresh.

CSV schema

With --analyze, psn_library_<date>.csv has 12 columns:

Column	Meaning
title	Game name
system	PS4 / PS5 / OTHER
playtime_hours	Total hours played (float)
play_count	Number of sessions
last_played	Date last played (YYYY-MM-DD)
enjoyment_score	0-100 blended score
completion_ratio	0-1 trophy completion (blank without --trophies)
recency_days	Days since last played
hours_per_session	Marathon signal
sessions_per_hour	Snackability signal
early_abandon	Bounced early (bool)
late_abandon	Stalled late (bool)

Without --analyze, you get a leaner base library CSV (title, ids, playtime, plays, last played).

Flag reference

Authentication (precedence: --npsso > --npsso-file > $PSN_NPSSO)

• --npsso TOKEN — pass the token inline
• --npsso-file PATH — read from a file (default probe: ~/.config/psnstats/npsso; chmod 600 it)

Scope

• --user ONLINE_ID — export another account's public library instead of your own
• --platforms LIST — comma list of ps4,ps5,other (default ps4,ps5)
• --min-hours N — skip titles under N hours (default 1; use 0 for a full dump)
• --limit N — stop after N kept titles (handy for a quick test)

Enrichment

• --trophies — fetch trophy completion (fills completion + abandonment; adds ~80 requests on a 400-game library)

Analysis

• --analyze — compute the taste profile (default: off)
• --compare PATH — diff this run against a previous preferences.json (implies --analyze)

Output

• --output DIR — output directory (default ./psn-export)
• --format LIST — comma list of csv,json,md,all (default csv,json); md is a markdown report

Display

• --top N, --sort enjoyment|hours|recent|title, --quiet, --silent, --verbose, --no-color, --version

Exit codes: 0 ok · 1 fatal · 2 auth · 3 nothing matched.

About your NPSSO token

• An NPSSO is a session cookie. Treat it like a password: anyone with it can act as you on PSN.
• It expires after ~60 days; regenerate it when auth starts failing.
• psnstats sends it only to Sony's own API endpoints — never to any third party.
• Prefer a file over an env var for long-term use, and lock it down: chmod 600 ~/.config/psnstats/npsso.

FAQ

Can I export PS3 or Vita playtime? No. Sony's API simply does not expose playtime for PS3/Vita titles, so no tool can.

Will this get my account banned? It uses the same unofficial API as other community tools, plus psnawp's built-in rate limiting (300 req / 15 min). Normal, occasional runs are low-risk, but there is no official guarantee. Don't hammer it.

Can I export a friend's library? Only their public titles, via --user THEIR_ONLINE_ID, and only if their privacy settings allow it.

Can I export my wishlist? No public endpoint exists for wishlists.

Roadmap

• Purchased-games list → an "owned but never played" backlog report
• Genre/metadata enrichment (external catalog join)
• A Steam adapter reusing the same pure analysis engine
• stdout streaming for piping into other tools
