Hey,

I have a curated list of imdb_ids.json and would like to import them into their own list,

The layout below works to add movies to the watchlist, but i can’t figure out how to add them to a specific list and not the watchlist.

I tried a few versions of:

{
    "list": "https://trakt.tv/users/papelo/lists/usa-up-all-night",
    "imdb_id": "tt0106453",
    "type": "movie",
}

which didn’t work.

Note the one below is what i usually use to add items to the watchlist which works.

Title, year are available if needed.

{
    "imdb_id": "tt0106453",
    "type": "movie",
    "watchlisted_at": "2025-11-07T18:10:27Z"
}

Thanks.

We currently only support importing to the watchlist. I’ll pass this along to a developer to see if it’s something we can support in the future.
