Automating My Now Page, Update
Another turn of the crank on automation
What?
I wrote an AWS Lambda function that
- Pulls watch history and ratings for movies and TV episodes (only) from Trakt using the Trakt API
- Updates the Amazon DynamoDB table that drives my Now page contents
I also updated my Nowbot code to check for updates in DynamoDB. (Previously, I was only checking for updates to the paste.)
Why?
- I can now use the Trakt app to track and rate the movies and TV shows that I watch.
- Automation is good.
- Projects like this are fun.
Where
- Here’s the code for my new Lambda Function, called Traktbot
