In jemus42/tRakt: Get Data from 'trakt.tv'

knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  collapse = TRUE,
  comment = "#>",
  message = FALSE, warning = FALSE, error = FALSE,
  out.width = "100%"
)

library(tRakt)

That's all you need to to for basic things. If you're planning a larger project with lots and lots of data retrieval, you might want to create your own API app on trakt.tv and use trakt_credentials() to set your client id.

Getting data from trakt.tv

1. Find things

Using a text query:

search_query("Game of Thrones", type = "show")

Search by explicit ID:

search_id("121361", id_type = "tvdb", type = "show")

Or via whatever's popular(ish):

Another scenario would be that you're not necessarily interested in some specific media item, but rather a collection of items that fulfill certain criteria, like being popular on trakt.tv and maybe being from a specific period or genre and whatnot. While you can also filter search_query by other criteria, it's maybe more useful to filter, let's say, the most watched movies of the past week by the release year of the movie.

The 5 most popular shows:

shows_popular(limit = 5)

The 10 most watched (during the past year) movies from 1990-2000:

library(dplyr)

movies_watched(period = "yearly", years = c(1990, 2000)) %>%
  select(watcher_count, title, year)
