## What it does

Douban offers no official export, and its public API shut down in 2018. This skill goes through the Frodo API instead: `scripts/douban-frodo-export.py` walks the full history across four categories and writes `书.csv`, `影视.csv`, `音乐.csv` and `游戏.csv`. Columns are plain — title, url, date, rating, status, comment. Files come out as UTF-8 with BOM, so Excel opens them without fiddling.

No login, no cookies. You only need the user ID from a profile URL like `douban.com/people/<ID>/`; paste the whole URL and the script extracts the ID itself. Python 3.6+ standard library is enough, nothing to install. For daily updates there is a second script, `scripts/douban-rss-sync.mjs`, which reads the RSS feed.

Know the limits before you run it. Reviews, reading notes and broadcasts are not exported, and one run dumps all four categories at once — there is no way to ask for books only. A private profile returns zero items with no error, so an empty CSV is worth double-checking. Scraping the website will not work either: Douban guards pages with a proof-of-work challenge, and the author tried seven approaches before settling on Frodo.

```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills/tree/HEAD/douban-skill/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- export a full reading history to CSV
- back up a Douban profile before it changes
- set up a daily pull of new entries
- collect movies and music into one set of files
- validate the user ID before a long export

## Example prompts
- export my Douban collections to CSV, my ID is `your_douban_id`
- set up daily RSS sync for my Douban profile
- pull books, movies, music and games from `douban.com/people/your_douban_id/`

# Douban Collection Export

Export Douban user collections (books, movies, music, games) to CSV files.
Douban has no official data export; the official API shut down in 2018.

## What This Skill Can Do

- Full export of all book/movie/music/game collections via Frodo API
- RSS incremental sync for daily updates (last ~10 items)
- CSV output with UTF-8 BOM (Excel-compatible), cross-platform (macOS/Windows/Linux)
- No login, no cookies, no browser required
- Pre-flight user ID validation (fail fast on wrong ID)

## What This Skill Cannot Do

- Cannot export reviews (长评), notes (读书笔记), or broadcasts (广播)
- Cannot filter by single category in one run (exports all 4 types together)
- Cannot access private profiles (returns 0 items silently)

## Why Frodo API (Do NOT Use Web Scraping)

Douban uses PoW (Proof of Work) challenges on web pages, blocking all HTTP scraping.
We tested 7 approaches — only the Frodo API works. **Do NOT attempt** web scraping,
`browser_cookie3`+`requests`, `curl` with cookies, or Jina Reader.

See [references/troubleshooting.md](references/troubleshooting.md) for the complete
failure log of all 7 tested approaches and why each failed.

## Security & Privacy

The API key and HMAC secret in the script are Douban's **public mobile app credentials**,
extracted from the APK. They are shared by all Douban app users and do not identify you.
No personal credentials are used or stored. Data is fetched only from `frodo.douban.com`.

## Full Export (Primary Method)

```bash
DOUBAN_USER=<user_id> python3 scripts/douban-frodo-export.py
```

**Finding the user ID:** Profile URL `douban.com/people/<ID>/` — the ID is after `/people/`.
If the user provides a full URL, the script auto-extracts the ID.

**Environment variables:**
- `DOUBAN_USER` (required): Douban user ID (alphanumeric or numeric, or full profile URL)
- `DOUBAN_OUTPUT_DIR` (optional): Override output directory

**Default output** (auto-detected per platform):
- macOS: `~/Downloads/douban-sync/<user_id>/`
- Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\douban-sync\<user_id>\`
- Linux: `~/Downloads/douban-sync/<user_id>/`

**Dependencies:** Python 3.6+ standard library only (works with `python3` or `uv run`).
