I'm asking cause it could be of a great help of getting it, like "i've watched these 50 movies, so for how long does my time has been taken from watching them" is there some kind of api data for it or does it even exists ?

Hi @Smiroc,

There's no API method that will return this for you. The way I see it, is that you have two options:

You can query all 50 items, grab the runtime of each and do the math yourself.
You can add all of these items to a list, which happens to have a total list runtime value.

If you do options #2, it should be noted that for TV series, we only use the TV series values and not a calculation that sums up all of the episode values. So that might not work very well for you.
