trakt-to-letterboxd

Description

A package to migrate your trakt movie history and ratings to letterboxd. Optionally the trakt Watchlist can also be exported. Currently letterboxd only supports importing from a csv, so thats all this package does at the moment. When a proper API is added, I'll update this to push the data right into your letterboxd history.

Usage

The easiest way to use this currently is with npx. You can install that globally with yarn global add npx or npm i -g npx. Once you have that, just run:

npx trakt-to-letterboxd -u username -f filename

where username is the user whose data you want to export, and filename is the name of the csv file you want to output to.

To export your watchlist use

npx trakt-to-letterboxy -u username -w watchListFilename

Both options can also be used together:

npx trakt-to-letterboxd -u username -f filename -w watchListFilename

If only a username is given it will correspond to the following command:

npx trakt-to-letterboxd -u username -f history.csv -w watchlist.csv
