Letterboxd ratings exporter

Exports Letterboxd ratings into a JSON file.

Installation

npm install

Exporter usage

Open the file letterboxd-export.js.

Change LETTERBOXD_USERNAME to your username.

If you already have updated Taste.io with your ratings, force TASTE_DEFAULT_STATUS to true. If you want to force update all ratings, set it to false. Otherwise keep the null value, then the script will look at your local cache and only rate if needed.

Start exporting

npm run letterboxd-export

The script will run and you should see a log of which movies & ratings that has been fetched. When completed there should be a movies.json in your project folder.

Import ratings to Taste.io

Exported Letterboxd ratings could be imported into Taste.io.

Taste.io importer usage

Open the file taste-import.js;

Login to taste.io and go to your home page. Open your browser's developer tools / inspector to the network tab. Refresh the page and look for the request to the /me endpoint. Copy the Authorization token (without the Bearer part) from the headers tab and paste into the TASTE_TOKEN variable value.

Start importing

npm run taste-import

The script will output NOT FOUND: {movie title} and NOT RATED: {movie title} if rating problems occur.

Combine export and import

When you already have a movies.json file, and want to run the exporter, then the importer for all new ratings.

It's recommended to use TASTE_DEFAULT_STATUS = null; for this.

npm start
