Hi frantait,

As long as you can export the list on IMDB's side and you want to import to one of our 3 primary account lists, yes. Export the list and then go into your account and click "Import CSV". Then import them into your "Rated" list.

We do not support importing a CSV into a non-account list on TMDb at this time.

Cheers.

i just checked apparently lists can be exported either as rss or csv ..

what do you mean exactly by non-account list?

-> does that mean one can't import list created on imdb and keep the name?

has that been changed in the past 2 years?

i have a handful of lists .. that i'd love to keep!

Right now you can only import Ratings, Watchlist and Favorites. For the rest, you'll have to wait until Travis adds the possibility of importing custom lists which unfortunately isn't a high priority for him atm.

As MrRadical states it's in the works.

Hello you all!

Where the hell is the Import CSV or Import List on TMDB?! I can't find it anymore anywhere.

And I can't create any new topic/thread on this Support board.

Go to your account "Settings" and then click the "Import List" link in the left hand sidebar (or dropdown if you're on mobile).

And I can't create any new topic/thread on this Support board.

What's the problem?

You're right! I found it!

Thank you! ;)

Made a script that automatically exports your IMDb lists and import it to TMDB. Like actual TMDB custom list. See Demo

@Raghavan_Rave your script is great

Thanks.

anyway i can import to my watchlist and dont create a new list? under my tmdb, i used to import the list by going to import list > "import to which list?" and select "watchlist"

With my script you can only import to custom lists. I made it that way as TMDB already has this feature implemented in the settings page.

@Raghavan_Rave there is an update to the imdb that wont allow import from the settings, can you please add this feature to your script? i think it will be very useful

You mean with IMDb you can't export the watchlist? i dont understand can you elaborate?

The export from imdb is now different so the site doesnt import it

Currently watchlist, ratings, favs are out of scope sorry. Am sure TMDB will fix this issue soon.

For now there is a work around:

1. Open the CSV file in notepad
2. remove these exact words with that comma: Original Title,
3. Save it and import it.

By just removing the "Original Title," will fix your issue.

@iwatchmoviesalot8 said: @Raghavan_Rave is your script still working?

From June 27, IMDb removed the feature to export lists through the /export endpoint, which is the core of this script to download IMDb lists automatically. For now, you can download the lists manually and place them inside the imdb-csv folder, then enter the filename with the extension in the imdbId field, just like you do for private lists. In the mean time I will find a way to automate this through other methods.

@iwatchmoviesalot8

Fixed the /export IMDb end-point by making a work around. Now lists will be downloaded automatically.

oh okay, also I get this with the csv:

Failed to add titles to TMDB list (....): SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON

and not all my stuff are synced

How many titles do you have in that list? I have tried lists with more than 2000 titles and encountered that error sometimes, but all the items will eventually be added to the TMDB list. It takes some time; if you check the list just after running the program, only a few hundred titles might be added initially. You should wait for 2 to 5 minutes and then check the TMDB list page again. All the titles should be there. If you still have issues, please create an issue on GitHub.

Getting follow error:
