Documentation missing some big points about trakt.py

@plittlefield You need to authenticate with your Trakt.tv account.

For example:

from trakt import Trakt


# Configure client
Trakt.configuration.defaults.app(
    id='<APP ID>'  # (e.g. "478" for https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications/478)
)

Trakt.configuration.defaults.client(
    id='<CLIENT ID>',
    secret='<CLIENT SECRET>'
)

# Request authentication
print('Navigate to %s' % Trakt['oauth/pin'].url())
pin = raw_input('Pin: ')

# Exchange `pin` for an account authorization token
authorization = Trakt['oauth'].token_exchange(pin, 'urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob')

if not authorization or not authorization.get('access_token'):
    print('ERROR: Authentication failed')
    exit(1)

# Configure client to use your account `authorization` by default
Trakt.configuration.defaults.oauth.from_response(authorization)

# Fetch watched items
for key, movie in Trakt['sync/watched'].movies().items():
    print('%s (%s)' % (movie.title, movie.year))

Note: PIN authentication has been deprecated, but it does still work and is the easiest authentication method to use.

trakt.py was built for https://github.com/trakt/Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler, so it currently only supports the scrobble and sync methods of the API.

I'm planning on implementing the rest of the API, but currently don't have much time to work on this.

@fuzeman thank you.
I'm using it for the kodi plug in port too. So if I'm growing to like python I will add some pull requests here.

That being said, is there a way in your wrapper to convert the media objects it hands out to json, compatible to Trakt?
I probably missed it somewhere

Hello All,

I would like to use this on the Linux command line, in a similar fashion to FlexGet, to be able to list and remove shows.

I have pulled with git, run travis_install.sh, run sudo python setup.py install.

I have created an API and put the 'id' and 'secret' in a simple python file.

from trakt import Trakt
Trakt.configuration.defaults.client(
    id='blablabla',
    secret='blablabla'
)
watched = Trakt['sync/watched'].movies()
for key, show in watched.items():
    print '%s (%s)' % (show.title, show.year)

I have just used the 'Retrieve shows that a user has watched' example, but it is not working for me.

The error is:-

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "trakt_.py", line 12, in <module>
    for key, show in watched.items():
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'items'

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Paully

Thanks for your help.

I am nearly there, but just getting stuck with the whole PIN thing.
