How can I import my watch history to Simkl from Hulu?

While Simkl’s browser extension once supported direct imports from Hulu, past changes on Hulu’s side have made this functionality unavailable.

Hulu Removed the “Watch History” Page Hulu decided to delete the dedicated watch-history endpoint from their website. Without a visible, consistent page or API to pull from, Simkl can no longer get accurate watch data.
Extension Functionality Disabled To prevent confusion and errors, the “Import from Hulu” feature was removed from both the Simkl web interface and browser extensions.

No Accessible History Endpoint

Simkl’s import tools rely on stable pages or officially supported APIs to gather data.
With Hulu’s removal of the watch-history page, Simkl can’t reliably detect which shows or episodes you’ve watched.

While direct import isn’t possible today, you still have a few options to rebuild your Simkl history:

Manual CSV Export (Semi-Automated)
- Create Your Own CSV: Manually list shows/movies and episodes along with watch dates in a simple spreadsheet (CSV).
- Use Simkl’s CSV Import: Upload your custom CSV via Profile → Settings → Import → CSV. See our CSV Import Guide for formatting details.
- Importing to Simkl
