This script imports IMDb ratings to trakt.tv. It supports advanced ratings.
If you unrate a movie on IMDb, the rating on trakt will be removed, too.
Requirements:
Ruby with the following gems:
You need accounts at IMDb and trakt.tv, of course.
- You can grab your IMDb-ID from the URL if you visit http://www.imdb.com/profile/lists, for example. It's the ur00000000-Part.
Make sure your ratings list is made public to allow the script to download your IMDb ratings! - Your trakt API key is available at http://trakt.tv/api-docs/authentication.
To hash your trakt password in SHA1 you can use this website: http://jssha.sourceforge.net.
Usage:
ruby ratings-imdb-to-trakt.rb trakt-api-key trakt-username trakt-password-in-sha1 imdb-id [nosocial]
If you use "nosocial" as fourth attribute, your ratings won't be send out as social updates to facebook, twitter, and tumblr. This is recommended for the initial ratings-import. The default setting is with social updates.
Usage as cron:
Cron doesn't load your environment files by default. So you have to load it first.
source /path/to/your/environment/files; ruby ratings-imdb-to-trakt.rb trakt-api-key trakt-username trakt-password-in-sha1 imdb-id
You can find you environment files by running:
rvm env --path -- ruby-version[@gemset-name]
Assuming the the project ruby@gmeset is 1.9.2-p290@projectX then calling:
rvm env --path -- 1.9.2-p290@projectX
will return:
/Users/juuro/.rvm/environments/ruby-1.9.2-p290
So your command for cron would be:
source /Users/juuro/.rvm/environments/ruby-1.9.2-p290; ruby ratings-imdb-to-trakt.rb trakt-api-key trakt-username trakt-password-in-sha1 imdb-id
