#letterboxd #webscraping #api #python

If you need to pull Letterboxd Film & Review data at scale and there's no clean official API, this guide shows how to export it to JSON, CSV or Excel in a couple of minutes — with no scraping code to maintain.

We'll use the Letterboxd Film & Review Scraper, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no Letterboxd Film & Review login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.

What data you get

Each run returns structured records with fields like:

title
year
director
averageRating
ratingsCount
genres
runtime
filmUrl
posterUrl
scrapedAt
filmTitle
filmYear
reviewer
username

Results are paginated automatically — you can pull thousands of rows per run and export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, JSONL or XML.
