Under Settings > Import List > Advanced List, there’s an option to provide a List URL for a Custom List. What format would that need to be in?

    A JSON array that looks like this:

    [
        {"MusicBrainzId": <id>},
        {"MusicBrainzId": <id>},
        {"MusicBrainzId": <id>}
        ...
    ]
    

    I use it to fetch my Last.fm and ListenBrainz recommendations for example.

        I have a custom import list that points to the following PHP script on a local webserver:

        $API_PLAYLISTS = "https://api.listenbrainz.org/1/user/%s/playlists/createdfor";
        $API_PLAYLIST = "https://api.listenbrainz.org/1/playlist/%s";
        
        $EXT_PLAYLIST = "https://musicbrainz.org/doc/jspf#playlist";
        $EXT_TRACK = "https://musicbrainz.org/doc/jspf#track";
        
        $TMPL_PLAYLIST = "https://listenbrainz.org/playlist/%s";
        
        $USERS = [
            '<musicbrainz-username>'
        ];
        
        $LISTS = [
            "weekly-exploration",
            "weekly-jam"
        ];
        
        try {
            $ids = [];
        
            foreach ($USERS as $user) {
                $lists = fetch(sprintf($API_PLAYLISTS, $user))?->playlists ?? [];
        
                foreach($lists as $list) {
                    $meta = $list->playlist->extension->{$EXT_PLAYLIST};
                    $type = $meta->additional_metadata->algorithm_metadata->source_patch;
        
                    if (!in_array($type, $LISTS)) continue;
        
                    list($mbid) = sscanf($list->playlist->identifier, $TMPL_PLAYLIST);
                    $songs = fetch(sprintf($API_PLAYLIST, $mbid))->playlist->track;
        
                    foreach ($songs as $song) {
                        $meta = $song->extension->{$EXT_TRACK};
        
                        foreach ($meta->additional_metadata->artists as $artist) {
                            $ids[$artist->artist_mbid] = true;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        
            json(array_map(fn ($id) => ['MusicBrainzId' => $id], array_keys($ids)));
        } catch (Throwable $e) {
            http_response_code(500);
            json(['error' => $e->getMessage()]);
        }
        
        // -- Util --
        
        function json($data)
        {
            header("Content-Type: application/json");
            echo json_encode($data);
        }
        
        function fetch($url)
        {
            return json_decode(file_get_contents($url));
        }
        

        It fetches my “weekly exploration” and “weekly jam” playlists, extracts the artists and returns a list of artist IDs for Lidarr to import.

          Thank you. Is there any chance you could share what the final output looks like?

          Trying to get our own script working and it would be nice to compare to a known good output
