@pinhead216 Thanks for posting the link to the data export page. This makes my script pretty much obsolete (except for automated backups - which I do not require personally). I removed the live script from my website.
It's been so helpful, thanks for all your work on it mate!
I use automated backups every Sunday at midnight (with monitoring in case anything goes wrong), I was originally using https://darekkay.com/service/trakt/trakt.php?username= but since that's been discontinued, I'll be using a copy of this script.
Thanks for sharing this!
