trakt.tv

Trakt.tv API wrapper for Node.js, featuring:

• All Trakt.tv API v2 methods
• Promises
• Forget JSON, use Objects, Arrays and Strings directly
• Enhanced protection against: CSRF (session riding) and XSS (content spoofing) attacks, using Crypto and Sanitizer
• Plugin extension

For more information about Trakt.tv API, read http://docs.trakt.apiary.io/

Example usage

Setup

npm install trakt.tv

Initialize

const Trakt = require('trakt.tv');

const trakt = new Trakt({
  client_id: <the_client_id>,
  client_secret: <the_client_secret>,
  redirect_uri: null,   // defaults to 'urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob'
  api_url: null         // defaults to 'https://api.trakt.tv'
});

Generate Auth URL

const traktAuthUrl = trakt.get_url();

Verify code (and optionally state) from returned auth

trakt.exchange_code('code', 'csrf token (state)').then(result => {
    // contains tokens & session information
    // API can now be used with authorized requests
});

Alternate OAUTH "device" method

trakt.get_codes().then(poll => {
    // poll.verification_url: url to visit in a browser
    // poll.user_code: the code the user needs to enter on trakt

    // verify if app was authorized
    return trakt.poll_access(poll);
}).catch(error => {
    // error.message == 'Expired' will be thrown if timeout is reached
});

Refresh token

trakt.refresh_token().then(results => {
    // results are auto-injected in the main module cache
});

Storing token over sessions

// get token, store it safely.
const token = trakt.export_token();

// injects back stored token on new session.
trakt.import_token(token).then(newTokens => {
    // Contains token, refreshed if needed (store it back)
});

Actual API requests

See methods in methods.json or wiki.

trakt.calendars.all.shows({
    start_date: '2015-11-13',
    days: '7',
    extended: 'full'
}).then(shows => {
    // Contains Object{} response from API (show data)
});

trakt.search.text({
    query: 'tron',
    type: 'movie,person'
}).then(response => {
    // Contains Array[] response from API (search data)
});

trakt.search.id({
    id_type: 'imdb',
    id: 'tt0084827'
}).then(response => {
    // Contains Array[] response from API (imdb data)
});

Using pagination

You can extend your calls with pagination: true to get the extra pagination info from headers.

trakt.movies.popular({
    pagination: true
}).then(movies => {
    /**
    movies = Object {
        data: [<actual data from API>],
        pagination: {
            item-count: "80349",
            limit: "10",
            page: "1",
            page-count: "8035"
        }
    }
    **/
});

Note: this will contain data and pagination for all calls, even if no pagination is available. it's typically for really advanced use only

Load plugins

When calling new Trakt(), include desired plugins in an object (must be installed from npm):

const trakt = new Trakt({
    client_id: <the_client_id>,
    client_secret: <the_client_secret>,
    plugins: {  // load plugins
        images: require('trakt.tv-images')
    }
    options: {  // pass options to plugins
        images: {
            smallerImages: true
        }
    }
});

The plugin can be accessed with the key you specify. For example trakt.images.get().

Notes

• You can use 'me' as username if the user is authenticated.
• Timestamps (such as token expires property) are Epoch in milliseconds.
