Trakt.tv - remove all items in Watchlist

README.md

Trakt watchlist remover

This script will remove everything* in your Trakt watchlist.
^{(* = tested with movies, shows, seasons, and episodes)}

1. Go to https://trakt.tv/users/me/watchlist (or any other list you want to empty out)
2. Open the browser console. Easiest way is to right-click somewhere on the page and clicking "inspect" then selecting "console" in the menu.
3. Paste the code attached in this gist and wait until the scripts says it is complete

The output should look something like this:

🔨 Removing ted lasso...
✅ Removed ted lasso!
🙌 All done! Please reload the window to see if it worked

⚠️ Do not run arbitrary code you don't understand in your console, a malicious actor could potentially steal your passwords

(async () => {
  const token = document.querySelector('meta[name=csrf-token]').content;
  const list_id = document.querySelector('#list-id').value;
  for ({ dataset } of document.querySelectorAll('#sortable-grid .grid-item')) {
    console.log(`🔨 Removing ${dataset.title}...`);
    try {
      const res = await fetch(`${dataset.url}/list/remove`, {
        credentials: 'include',
        body: Object.entries({
          type: dataset.type,
          trakt_id: dataset[`${dataset.type}Id`],
          list_id,
        })
          .map(([key, value]) => `${key}=${value}`)
          .join('&'),
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
          'X-CSRF-Token': token,
        },
        method: 'POST',
      });
      if (!res.ok) {
        throw new Error(
          `Could not remove from watchlist. Status ${res.status}`,
        );
      }
      console.log(`✅ Removed ${dataset.title}!`);
    } catch (error) {
      console.log('☠️', error.message);
    }
  }
  console.log(`🙌 All done! Please reload the window to see if it worked`);
})();

I can confirm that, as of today, this script successfully cleared my Trakt.tv watchlist without compromising my password.
