I’d love to see Trakt integrate with ChatGPT using the existing API. My watchlist and custom lists reflect a really specific taste (think weird, intense, emotional cult stuff), and I use ChatGPT to help find more movies that match my vibe. If ChatGPT could access my Trakt lists—with my permission, of course—it could make personalized recommendations way more accurate and useful. This would be a game-changer for discovery, especially for users with niche tastes.

Never thought of it that way, but this suggestion is weirdly logical

I just use the share list function on Trakt to send the list to chatgpt. It just can’t read the list that’s all I’m looking for I don’t understand why you are upset.
The info is available using the Trakt API, can you somehow have ChatGPT use that for a data source?
I asked and this is what was said
Yes, that does help conceptually, but here’s the catch: ChatGPT can’t directly access external APIs like Trakt’s in real time. I don’t have internet access or API-calling ability in this chat. So even though the API exists and your lists are accessible that way, I can’t reach out and pull from it myself—you’d still need to either export the data (like you just did), or build a tool that fetches from Trakt and then feeds that data to ChatGPT in a format I can read.
Perhaps ChatGPT can write that tool? You can get the CSV file directly from the website, or export your data and get JSON files. Either format is very standard. It should be readable by ChatGPT directly.
It’s not personal information? It’s a movie list… It seems like you came here just to attack ChatGPT.

You claim not to want to give any info to AI then immediately tell people to use Elons AI. I think you’re either a troll or a marketer

I started working on a small proxy implementation that functions as a function calling server to embed into any AI - not just ChatGPT.
Querying the API, aggregating data, caching (to save bandwidth and rate limits), enriching data and transforming it into a nice format that an AI model actually can use.
Features I was planning:
- Query any watchlist to see what you still have listed there
- See progress of series you are watching
- See your ratings, and your favorites
- and more
Open source, started the repo here: GitHub - Wolfsblvt/trakt-function-calling-proxy: TaktBridge is a self-hosted proxy for accessing the [Trakt.tv](https://trakt.tv) API in a function-callable way. This backend-only API server is designed to work with tools like Custom GPTs or SillyTavern.
It’s not in a state to be usable yet really, sadly.
Needs a bit more work.
Let’s see if I’ll ever finish it. Currently I got a huge hit in motivation, to be honest.

What I am doing is basically building a function calling service. There are a lot of documentations out there what this is about, and any decent AI model can likely explain it much better to you than I could.
But to answer the base of your question: This isn’t really about the subscription or any payment.
If I could build a custom GPT that works for everyone without customizing (which I quite doubt at the moment) it works with the free ChatGPT as well.
Generally, this should be able to be hooked into… any tool using the OpenAI API in the background. Using Deepseek. Using… local LLM models. And much more.
Thankfully, the function colling system is a standard shared by all LLMs and providers, so it’s easy to use everywhere.
How good a model actually is with using function calling, that depends on its individual training.
Personally, I have some very good results with GPT both on the ChatGPT web frontend and via its API.

Now your attacking ChatGPT more and not being helpful. Is there an admin I can report you too for trolling?
