FAQ

Questions Trakt owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I get a Trakt Client ID?

    Sign up for a free Trakt account at trakt.tv, go to OAuth Applications, click 'Create an Application' and fill in the details. Your Client ID is displayed immediately.

  • 02

    Can I use IDs from IMDb or TVDB?

    Yes! Trakt accepts Trakt IDs, URL slugs (e.g. 'the-matrix'), IMDb IDs (e.g. 'tt0133093') and TMDB IDs for movies. For shows it accepts Trakt IDs, slugs, TVDB IDs and TMDB IDs.

  • 03

    What's the difference between trending and popular?

    Trending shows what users are actively watching RIGHT NOW (real-time). Popular shows have the highest overall engagement over time. Trending is more dynamic and changes frequently.

  • 04

    Can I sync my watchlist and history?

    Yes! Use get_watchlist, get_watched, get_collection and get_history with OAuth authentication. These endpoints require an access token in addition to your Client ID. Visit trakt.tv/oauth/applications to set up OAuth.
