Trakt TV

Trakt.tv API Access

Movary needs a Trakt username and Client ID to access its api. You can configure them in Movary via the user settings page at /settings/integrations/trakt or via cli (user update command).

How to get a Client ID

Go to your trakt.tv application settings and create an application for Movary. Trakt requires a redirect uri which is not used by Movary, you can enter a placeholder like http://movary: Trakt application seeting page with client ID

You should be able to see your Client ID now on your applications page: Trakt application seeting page with client ID

Enter the Client ID and your username in Movary, verify the access and save your changes.

Import

Description

You can import your watch history and ratings from Trakt.

The import will only add data missing in Movary on default, it will not overwrite or remove existing data.

The import can be triggered via the user settings page at /settings/integrations/trakt or via cli.

Info

Importing hundreds or thousands of movies for the first time can take a few minutes.

Warning

Currently Movary only supports import from public Trakt accounts. Make sure your account is not set to private during the import.
