Simkl provides multiple ways to transfer your watch history and lists into your Simkl account—beyond manual entry—by using CSV or JSON formatted files. This is especially useful if you’re migrating from another service or maintain your own watch logs offline. Below, we cover two primary import methods:
CSV Import
JSON Import
Each section includes an introduction, step-by-step instructions, and additional tips to ensure a smooth import experience.
Using a CSV import can be the quickest way to move your entire watch history—episodes watched, scores given, dates watched—into Simkl if you already maintain or export your data elsewhere in CSV format. Simkl’s CSV import tool parses each line to match entries in its database and then adds them to your profile.
You can also use CSV or JSON files in Simkl's format to import data to Simkl
If you have a JSON export your SIMKL backup, Simkl’s JSON import tool allows you to bring over your entire watch history, including nested details like episode-specific data, all in one go. JSON imports are particularly handy when you need to preserve more complex metadata beyond basic watch counts.
