How do I get a Trakt Client ID?

Sign up for a free Trakt account at [**trakt.tv**](https://trakt.tv), go to [**OAuth Applications**](https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications), click 'Create an Application' and fill in the details. Your Client ID is displayed immediately.

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.

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.

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.
