I have around 1000 movies which i rated in a different database. i would like to migrate them over to themoviedb, but dont want to loose the ratings. any way to add the rating when adding a movie to a user defined list? i found: POST /list/{list_id}/items. but it does not look like it would support ratings. thanks for your help.

Hi @atmamutti lists do not support ratings, no.
You would want to import those to your account's "rated list". Right now via the website, we support importing an IMDB .csv export but no other formats yet. If you can map your export to the IMDB format then you can already do it. If you can't, I was already thinking that I might support an API end point to import ratings, but again, these would be to your account list.
The only option that works right now (if you got the programming skills to do it) would be to use the /movie/rating method (by iterating over all of your ids).
Hope that helps.

thanks for your answer Travis and the great work you're doing with themoviedb. so would be one option for me to insert all my films to the list they belong to (i have thinks like library, deleted, wishlist,...) and then use /movie/rated to rate them. the rating would show on the films in my users lists, wouldn't it? thanks again. atma

That's right, exactly. There's also a dedicated watchlist which might be similar to what you referred to as a wishlist. The 3 main built in account list types are rated, watchlist and favourites.

Thanks for your answer. I looked a bit deeper into my data and i realized, that i would like to also have my updatedAt timestamp when creating list items. my requirements would be something like that: {movie_id: 550, movie_type: "movie", rating: 7, updatedAt: "2016-11-11T11:11:11"}. so maybe one day... till then i will stay with my own database server for user data. feel free to close this. thanks a lot for your help.
