As of this morning it seems, the URL to my history (/users/mydefposse/history) now takes you to a Trakt sign in page instead of showing people my history even if they didn’t have a Trakt account. Was this an intentional change? I have a Discord bot setup using IFTTT to post every time I watch a new…

I reverted the website change and we will evaluate again later. [image] kaser47: I’m not sure if it was ever possible but I was playing around with the API trying to get that to show progress and watched history and even though I have a valid token for my account there doesnt seem to be a way t…

I wonder if this is related to a similar issue with the history feed that I just noticed: Feeds now requiring auth

Thanks for the update. I’d love for it to be an optional checkbox as my friends like to see what I’ve been watching but don’t want to have to create an account.

Justin’s reply i LOVE Trakt. letterboxd has a website and user interface that is trapped in the late 1990’s and i hate letterboxd with a passion Trakt should be striving to be more accessible, not less accessible. all of us dedicated trakt users are ambassadors for the site, and when casually sha…

couldn’t agree more. in fact me sharing my history page with others has actually let to some of them being so impressed that they went and signed up themselves. however if I can’t show off the awesome website anymore then I can’t convince more friends to come join the fun.

Please, please can you revert this change. It was super helpful for showing off trakt to other people

Hi thanks for sorting this fix so fast and adding history back in so quickly. My discord bot uses progress, would it be possible to do the same change for that so it no longer requires sign in like before? Again thank you so much for your amazing website its been great!, its just my discord bot wou…

It seems the progress page still requires sign in. Is this on purpose? I’d like to be able to share what I’m watching with people who aren’t on trakt. Thanks!

Yes, we are experimenting with required sign in for the history and progress pages. Those pages are more performance intensive.
