Douban Collection Export

Export your entire Douban book, movie, music, and game history to Excel-friendly CSV files — no login required.

What it does

Douban (豆瓣), China's largest books/film/music community, offers no official data export (its public API shut down in 2018). This skill uses the Frodo API — the endpoint Douban's own mobile app calls — to pull your full collection and write it to four CSV files.

  • Full export of books (read/reading/want-to-read), movies & TV, music, and games
  • Columns: title, url, date, rating, status, comment; UTF-8 BOM so Excel opens Chinese text correctly
  • No login, cookies, or browser needed; Python 3.6+ standard library only
  • Optional RSS incremental sync (latest ~10 items) for daily top-ups
  • Pre-flight user ID validation so bad IDs fail fast
  • Cross-platform default output under ~/Downloads/douban-sync/<user_id>/

Limits: long reviews, reading notes, and broadcasts are not exported; private profiles silently return 0 items. The docs explicitly warn against web scraping because Douban's pages are protected by Proof-of-Work challenges.

Who it's for

  • Douban users who want a personal backup of hundreds or thousands of logged items
  • People migrating Douban data into Notion, Obsidian, spreadsheets, or a personal blog
  • Anyone who wants to analyze their reading/watching stats from rating data
  • Users worried about account bans or platform changes wiping their history

Examples

  1. Full backup: "My Douban profile is douban.com/people/abc123/ — export everything to CSV" → creates 书.csv, 影视.csv, 音乐.csv, 游戏.csv in your Downloads folder
  2. Stats: hand the exported 书.csv back to Claude and ask for books-per-year and average rating charts
  3. Daily sync: run the full export once, then cron the RSS script to append newly marked items

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the douban-skill folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/douban-skill/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git && cp -r claude-code-skills/douban-skill ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal and confirm Python is available: python3 --version (3.6 or newer).
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git
  3. Copy the skill into Claude Code's skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-code-skills/douban-skill ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Restart Claude Code and say something like "export my Douban collection" — the skill triggers automatically.
  5. Find your user ID in your profile URL douban.com/people/<ID>/ and give it to Claude (a full URL works too).
  6. To run it manually: DOUBAN_USER=<ID> python3 ~/.claude/skills/douban-skill/scripts/douban-frodo-export.py
  7. Check the output in ~/Downloads/douban-sync/<ID>/, or set DOUBAN_OUTPUT_DIR to change the location.
  8. (Optional) For RSS incremental sync you need Node.js: DOUBAN_USER=<ID> node ~/.claude/skills/douban-skill/scripts/douban-rss-sync.mjs
