Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/trakt/create_list

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Create a custom list with a name, a description and a privacy setting.

Trakt API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/trakt.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/trakt/lists`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Creates an empty personal list. Privacy is 'private' unless you set it, and 'friends', 'link' or 'public' make the list visible to other people. The call fails with an account-limit error when you are at your list limit. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | string | yes | Name of the list. |
| `description` | string | no | Short description. |
| `privacy` | string | no | 'private', 'link', 'friends' or 'public'. Default: 'private'. |

## Request

**cURL**

```bash
curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/trakt/lists \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Jane Doe"}'
```

**Python**

```python
result = client.call("trakt", "create_list", {"name":"Jane Doe"})
```

**Node.js**

```js
const result = await cotlet.call('trakt', 'create_list', {"name":"Jane Doe"});
```

**CLI**

```bash
cotlet call trakt create_list --data '{"name":"Jane Doe"}'
```

## Example response

```json
{
  "list_id": "cozy-autumn",
  "name": "Cozy autumn",
  "privacy": "private",
  "item_count": 0
}
```

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
