Letterboxd Film Scraper (IMDb and TMDB ID lookup, no login)

Use this Actor when you need Letterboxd ratings and film details for a list of movies, looked up by Letterboxd link, slug, IMDb ID or TMDB ID.

Get the Letterboxd rating and the full film record for any list of films. Paste Letterboxd links, Letterboxd slugs, IMDb IDs or TMDB IDs, mixed in one list, and get one clean row per film.

What you get for each film

• Letterboxd average rating (0.5 to 5), number of ratings and number of reviews
• Title, original title, year, runtime, tagline and synopsis
• Genres and Letterboxd themes
• Studios, countries, primary and spoken languages, alternative titles
• Every release with date, type (premiere, theatrical, digital, physical, TV), country, age certification and note
• IMDb ID, TMDB ID, Letterboxd film ID and slug, so you can join Letterboxd ratings with IMDb or TMDB data
• Poster, backdrop and trailer links

Cast and crew names are not returned.

Why this one

• Bulk ID lookup. Most Letterboxd scrapers need Letterboxd links. This one also takes tt6751668 or tmdb:496243 and finds the Letterboxd page for you, which is what you need to add Letterboxd ratings to a movie database.
• Built to finish. A blocked request gets a new residential session with growing backoff. In our test, 5 of 5 real films came back with 0 errors, mixing links, slugs, an IMDb ID and a TMDB link.
• Failures are free. A film that is not found or cannot be fetched comes back with an error field and charged: false and is not charged; every charged row carries charged: true, and the run's final message says how many failed. The same film listed twice (for example by IMDb ID and by link) is charged once.
