Automatic sync from IMDb to Trakt (watchlist, lists and ratings) using GitHub actions

imdb-trakt-sync

GoLang app that can sync IMDb and Trakt user data - watchlist, ratings and lists.
For its data needs, the app is communicating with the IMDb and Trakt APIs directly.
The app can be set up to run on a custom schedule (default: once every 3 hours) through GitHub Actions.

Usage

To set up the environment for your personal IMDb & Trakt accounts follow these steps:

1. Fork this repo
2. Configure the repository secrets based on the .env.example file:
   1. Retrieve the at-main and ubid-main cookies by logging into your IMDb account and inspecting the cookies using your favourite web browser
   2. Create Trakt API app
   3. Retrieve a Trakt access token:
      1. Get a Trakt code by opening the Trakt API app that you created in the previous step and click the Authorize button
      2. Using the code from the previous step together with your Trakt API app's client id & client secret, replace the values in this request:

      curl --include \
      --request POST \
      --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
      --data-binary "{
      \"code\": \"fd0847dbb559752d932dd3c1ac34ff98d27b11fe2fea5a864f44740cd7919ad0\",
      \"client_id\": \"9b36d8c0db59eff5038aea7a417d73e69aea75b41aac771816d2ef1b3109cc2f\",
      \"client_secret\": \"d6ea27703957b69939b8104ed4524595e210cd2e79af587744a7eb6e58f5b3d2\",
      \"redirect_uri\": \"urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob\",
      \"grant_type\": \"authorization_code\"
      }" \
      'https://api.trakt.tv/oauth/token'

   4. Create repository secrets: Settings > Secrets > Actions > New repository secret
3. Enable GitHub Actions for the fork
4. Enable the sync workflow, as scheduled workflows are disabled by default in forks
5. The sync workflow can be triggered manually right away to test if it works. Alternatively, wait for GitHub actions to automatically trigger it every 3 hours
