Watch History Exporter for Amazon Prime Video

Project type Language Repository size Project license

A script to export your Amazon Prime Video watch history as a CSV file.


About

This script runs in your browser and allows you to save your watch history from Amazon Prime Video to a CSV file, where it can be processed further or imported into other platforms.

Usage

You can run the script by going to primevideo.com/settings/watch-history, copying the code in watch-history-exporter-for-amazon-prime-video.js, and pasting it into your browser's devtools console.

Caution

For security reasons, I do not recommend running scripts from the internet unless you understand what they are doing. If you are not a developer, I recommend reading the comments in the code and/or asking a LLM like ChatGPT to explain it to you.

Detailed instructions:

  1. Open primevideo.com/settings/watch-history in your browser
  2. Open your browser's devtools console (how?)
  3. Copy the code in watch-history-exporter-for-amazon-prime-video.js and paste it into the console. If this doesn't work or you see a warning message about pasting, see the FAQ.
  4. Press enter to run the script. You should see the script running in the console and you'll be prompted to save a file when it finishes. If this doesn't happen, see the FAQ.

FAQ

Nothing shows up when I paste in the console / I get a warning when I try to paste in the console

Some browsers prevent you from pasting code in the console because it could be malicious. This is called Paste Protection and you can read more about it on the Chrome for Developers Blog.

If this happens, follow the instructions in the console to re-enable pasting, and then try again. For Chrome, the following steps should work:

  1. Try to paste something in the console. You should get a warning message about pasting
  2. Type "allow pasting" in the console and press enter

See this video for a visual walkthrough.

I get an Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier error when running the script

Make sure that you select the entire file with Ctrl + A when copying it. If part of the script is cut off, it won't work.

The script runs, but I am not prompted to save a file

If you have a default download folder set, check if the file is there.

Otherwise, make sure "Pop-ups and redirects" and "Automatic downloads" are enabled for www.primevideo.com in your browser settings.
