Get Letterboxd movie ratings, ReqID 1 #6

Closed mrpete5 closed 1 year ago

mrpete5 commented 1 year ago

Letterboxd has what I think is very good rating system, but they don't have an official API. There may be an unofficial app. If we can't use an API, try to web scrape to get the ratings. Screenshot 2023-09-19 175729 Screenshot 2023-09-19 175647

I would like to get the rating number out of 5, the number of reviews (not the same as fans) would be nice to have, and bonus to be able to replicate the visual ratings distributions. You'd have to ensure you could get the proper URL for the movies, I did see some inconsistency.

Different URL examples: https://letterboxd.com/film/barbie/ https://letterboxd.com/film/talk-to-me-2022/ https://letterboxd.com/film/the-nun-ii/ https://letterboxd.com/film/ferris-buellers-day-off/ https://letterboxd.com/film/john-wick-chapter-3-parabellum/

If successful, modify movies/ to show the results.

@johnzheng0 John, I think this issue can probably be closed. The main functionality seems to work. We should close, and then create new issues if they appear. You should close it if you agree.
