  • Popular

  • This lets you save time later by not have to mention the list you want to add too

Installation

You will need to create a Trakt.tv app from here to get your Client ID & Client Secret.

You will need both when you create your own Alexa app here

You need to enable account linking in your Alexa app, settings should look something like this

With that done, You can use the JSON editor and copy all of package.json into the JSON editor

After that you need to upload the lambda folder to either Alexa hosted or your own host. You will need to edit config.py to your own liking but most importantly remember to set your Trakt.tv API key with

client_id = "your-api-key-goes-here" Don't remove the quotes!

Save & build and then deploy, and you should be good to enable the app in your Alexa app.

"SKILLS AND GAMES" -> "Your Skills" -> "Dev"

Enabling the app should take you to trakt.tv where you login and grants your own app access to your trakt.tv account.

The reason for this skill

I needed a way to add movies/shows from alexa to radarr/sonarr but there was no app/skill or source code that didnt require opening your own server up to the internet. This gets around that by only having other apps read from the trakt.tv lists and removes the need to open ports on your server.
