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 (e.g., on my feed)
Requires python3.7+
To install with pip, run:
pip install traktexport
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
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.
- 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)
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

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"])
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!
