API Access

“It’s not about who’s got the most bullets. It’s about who controls the information.”

—Sneakers (1992)

Access to the Letterboxd API is available by request only. If you’d like to be considered for access, please email details of your intended use to . Please include the title of your app or project clearly in the subject line, and note that while we read all applications, we are unable to individually reply, or to guarantee access. At this time we are not granting access for data-analysis, visualization or recommendation projects, for LLM or GPT-related use, for private or personal projects, or for any usage that recreates current or planned features of our paid subscription tiers.

If you require your account data in a machine-readable format, we provide import and export facilities, and every member profile has an RSS feed of new diary entries, reviews and lists. If you require an API for non-Letterboxd-specific movie and TV data (cast, crew, synopsis, poster, etc.), we recommend applying for access to TMDB directly.
