Submission Guide for Bulk URLs Question
Hi Support,
I run a review site (FilmBook) that is updated regularly and currently has well over 900 reviews published.
Does IMDb's automatic review linking service still exist from 2011?:
Submission Guide for Bulk URLs
If you have a review site that's updated regularly, with at least several hundred reviews, you may want to take advantage of IMDb's automatic review linking service.
In order to do this, you'll have to create a page with all the reviews in one of the formats below. Then, send the following information to the help desk:
* Name of publication/site as you wish it to appear
* Which of the formats below you are using
* The URL of the review page
* The best day to harvest it (currently, reviews are harvested on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, around 3 AM Pacific time - choose one)
* Whether all reviews are written by a single reviewer, unsigned/visitor posted, or one of several named reviewers; in the last case, the reviewer name should be included with each review on the harvest page.
Formats: in all cases, extra spacing is allowed. Ideally, movie titles should use the IMDb form of the title, but we can usually match the English-language title to our titles. There must be a newline character at the end of each line shown here.
XML:Movie Title
Robbie Reviewer
http://your.url.here
HTML, format 1:
Movie TitleReview: Robbie Reviewer
http://your.url.here
HTML, format 2:Movie Title Robbie Reviewer
Text:
Movie Title|http://your.url.here|Robbie Reviewer
We have a high number of reviews that we would like to add to IMDb's External Reviews and a automated bulk upload function would be very useful.
Thank you.

Hi @Kayless -
Unfortunately, bulk harvesting for External Reviews is no longer operable. It sounds like you have a use case where this type of contribution feature would be useful and I have modified this post to an Idea thread so other community members can vote and comment and where IMDb staff can track interest.
In the meantime, you will need to individually submit your title reviews through our Contribution Form. You can find the guidelines on our current Help Guide.
I hope this helps!
