How can I bulk update what spaces I am watching?

For some reason I have been added as a watcher to multiple spaces and I am receiving email notifications, around 50 per day which is non essential information for me. This reduces my visibility in important email and important confluence spaces I do want to watch. 

 

Is there a way I can bulk update what I am watching to remove all spaces at this moment? 

Thanks!

You can go to 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces?spaceType=watching' while logged in and then just run thru unchecking the eye "watching" icon for the ones you don't want.

Or you could build a script if you really wanted to, using the api call to get a list of spaces you're watching and then iterate over that list with a delete call.

curl --request DELETE \ --url 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/user/watch/space/{spaceKey}' \ --user 'email@example.com:<api_token>'
