traktexport 0.1.4

Export your Movies, TV shows and ratings

traktexport

Export your Movie/TV shows ratings and history from https://trakt.tv/

This isn't meant to be used to re-import info back into Trakt or export to another site, its just meant to save all my data so I have it locally, and can do analysis or graph my history.

Installation

Requires python3.7+

To install with pip, run:

pip install traktexport

Usage

Usage: traktexport [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Export data from your Trakt account

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  auth            setup authentication
  export          run an account export
  inspect         read/interact with an export file
  merge           merge multiple exports
  partial_export  run a partial export

Auth

This uses OAuth to authenticate with the Trakt API (which afaik requires you to be a VIP on Trakt), see here for more info.

This requires a manual setup the first time you use it, after which credentials are stored and this can run without any interaction.

Setup

• Go to https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications and create a new application
• Use urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob for the Redirect URI
• Run traktexport auth yourTraktUsername
• Follow the instructions, pasting in your Client ID/Secret from the Trakt dashboard, going to the link and pasting the generated pin back into the terminal

Once you've done that, this saves OAuth refresh info in ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/traktexport.json (can overwrite location with the TRAKTEXPORT_CFG environment variable)

Export

Then, to export all your ratings/movies/shows, run:

traktexport export yourTraktUsername > data.json

The results are printed to STDOUT, so > data.json saves it to data.json

$ python3 -m traktexport export yourTraktUsername > data.json

Partial Export

You can also export a part of your recent history, instead of your entire history (as that tends to take a few minutes)

traktexport partial_export --help
Usage: traktexport partial_export [OPTIONS] USERNAME

  Run a partial history export - assumes authentication has already
  been setup

  This exports your movie/TV show history from Trakt without all
  the other attributes. You can specify --pages to only request the
  first few pages so this doesn't take ages to run.

  The 'merge' command takes multiple partial exports (or full
  exports) and merges them all together into a complete history

Options:
  --pages INTEGER  Only request these many pages of your history
  --help           Show this message and exit.

E.g. To export your most recent 100 watches, you can run traktexport partial_export yourTraktUsername --pages 1

Those can then all be combined by the merge command, like: traktexport merge ~/data/trakt/*.json

To do that in python, you can also do:

from traktexport.merge import read_and_merge_exports
read_and_merge_exports(["full_export.json", "partial_export.json"])

Inspect

traktexport.dal includes some code I use to parse the resulting JSON file into Python objects so its easier to manipulate

class TraktExport(NamedTuple):
    username: str
    followers: List[Follow]
    following: List[Follow]
    likes: List[Like]
    stats: Dict[str, Any]
    settings: Dict[str, Any]
    watchlist: List[WatchListEntry]
    ratings: List[Rating]
    history: List[HistoryEntry]

python3 -m traktexport inspect data.json
Use 'data' to interact with the parsed TraktExport object

In [1]: data.history[0]
Out[1]: HistoryEntry(history_id=7353545729, watched_at=datetime.datetime(2021, 3, 22, 13, 33, 24, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc), action='watch', media_type='movie', media_data=Movie(title='Rain Man', year=1988, ids=SiteIds(trakt_id=304, trakt_slug='rain-man-1988', imdb_id='tt0095953', tmdb_id=380, tvdb_id=None, tvrage_id=None)))

In [2]: len(data.history)
Out[2]: 16063

In [3]: data.stats["movies"]["plays"]
Out[3]: 1511

Note: This does include this info the export, but it doesn't currently parse:

• collection
• comments
• lists
• recommendations

... because I don't have any of those on trakt. If you use those, a PR would be appreciated!
