Remove all items from Trakt collection

trakt-remove-all-from-collection.js

// Removes all items from a page of the Trakt collection
// Run script from console of user's collection page
// Must be run on each page

$(".posters .grid-item").each(function() {
  actionWatch($(this).closest('.grid-item'), 'collect', true)
})

@reconman, your solution seems to work, but I had two issues (none of which is caused by your solution);

• Trakt seems to have some horrible caching in place, causing deleted items to show up randomly, and number of pages change between different cached versions (if you started off at 100 pages, after deleting some, you're down at 80, then back at 100, then down to 90, up to 95, back to 75, etc). This causes lot's of attempts to remove already removed stuff (and also lots of 400 response codes).
• Trakt have their page behind Cloudflare, which seems to give 502 responses from the backend after a while. Most likely caused by some kind of rate limiting. Have to stop, wait, and then re-apply.

Create a bookmark with the following saved as url. Makes it much easier to just select the bookmark once it switches pages. Following reconman suggestion:

javascript:function wipePage() {
    $(".grid-item").each(function(index) {
        actionWatch($(this), "collect", true);
    });

    if (localStorage.getItem('goForward') === "true") {
        $(".pagination-top .pagination .next a")[0].click();
        alert("Page cleared. Navigate to the next page and click the bookmarklet again.");
        localStorage.setItem('goForward', "false");
    } else {
        $(".pagination-top .pagination .prev a")[0].click();
        alert("Page cleared. Navigate to the previous page and click the bookmarklet again.");
        localStorage.setItem('goForward', "true");
    }
}

wipePage();

@EverAndy, this works

Thank you!

The solutions worked fine until very recently. Trakt throwing up "Doh!" errors when trying to run this.

I confirm that the server responds with a Too many requests error. Due to this, I wrote the following script to clear my collection page by page. 32 pages in my case. Have fun.

function clearCollect(time = 2000) {
    var i = 0, items = $(".grid-item");
    console.log(`Start remove ${items.length} items`);
    var interval = setInterval(() => {
        if (i < items.length) {
            let item = $(items[i++]);
            actionWatch(item, "collect", true);
            console.log(`Remove item ${i - 1}`);
        } else clearInterval(interval);
    }, time);
}
clearCollect();

@Clndl Your version works perfectly with the new rate limiting. You can decrease the interval to 1500ms without hitting the limit though.

I hit limits with 1500ms. Here's a version that works and integrates pagination again: gist link

const RATE_LIMIT_DELAY = 2000;  // Delay between each item collection (2 seconds)
const PAGE_CHANGE_DELAY = 5000;  // Delay before changing page (5 seconds)

async function clearTraktCollection() {
    // Collect current page
    const items = $(".grid-item");
    console.log(`Processing ${items.length} items on current page`);
    
    // Process items one by one with delay
    for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
        const item = $(items[i]);
        actionWatch(item, "collect", true);
        console.log(`Removed item ${i + 1}/${items.length}`);
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, RATE_LIMIT_DELAY));
    }
    
    // Check if there's a next page
    const nextPageButton = $(".pagination-top .page.active").next().find('a');
    if (nextPageButton.length) {
        console.log("Moving to next page...");
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, PAGE_CHANGE_DELAY));
        nextPageButton[0].click();
        // Wait for page load and continue collection
        setTimeout(clearTraktCollection, PAGE_CHANGE_DELAY);
    } else {
        console.log("Collection cleared - no more pages");
    }
}

// Start the clearing process
clearTraktCollection();

I get a Doh! error even with this for some reason, but the one from Clndl works

Anyways, thanks everyone for the help with this. No clue why this isn't easier
