I don't know if this is possible or not through the API, but it would be really cool to be able to import your personal watched movies and ratings from Netflix. I have literally hundreds of movies watched and rated on Netflix. It would take me forever to reproduce the same ratings on Listal.

YES!!!!

Sorry for the excitement, but I'm just shocked that I hadn't thought of this!

Do you have any details/links to their api? Since I am in the UK I can't join them.

Hrmm. I can't find a way to get that information. I've e-mailed their tech support asking if there is a way to generate some XML of that data. You can view a list of all your ratings, but it isn't very useful in that form.

Yeah. I've spoken with their technical support people and they said there is no export feature. You can copy/paste the information out of a specific screen that shows you your ratings, but they are split into only about 20 at a time and the data that you get from it isn't very clean. I'm not sure if it would be worth it. I can give you a sample though, if you'd like.
