Export and import watch lists to local JSON files from Netflix directly. Send your exported lists to friends and family for sharing or use them as backup.

[Quick Start] Exporting -- Visit the "My List" page directly from https://www.netflix.com/browse/my-list, or navigate to the page from the "My List" tab within Netflix. Click the "Export" button to export your list to a JSON file.

The new "profile transfer" function of Netflix does NOT work for extra member accounts, because those accounts can only handle 1 profile which can´t be replaced by the profile that you want to transfer. Since my watchlist had like 1000 entries it took a lot of effort to copy all entries, because despite getting the message (after using the import function of this app): " e.g. 65 entries copied, failed to copy e.g. 788 entries" sometimes only a part of the e.g. 65 entries were really copied. After each copying process I had to refresh the "my list" page on my browser, scroll down to the bottom of the page and then restart the whole process. This should be added to the "user manual". Still 5 stars because it is free and it would have been impossible to add the 1000 entries manually. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Worked wonderfully. My list was really large so It took a few tries importing to get it all, so if you have a large list just import a few times until everything fully loads.
