Letterboxd Stats

Get information about your Letterboxd activity.

Search for actors/directors, analyze your diary/watchlist/rating, check which film you have seen for a particular person. All in your terminal.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.8
• A TMDb API key: to retrieve all the general information for movies/people
• A Letterboxd account: to export your Letterboxd activity through web-scraping.

Installation

Just run:

pip3 install letterboxd_stats

Configuration

It is required to create a config.toml. You can create it in the default config folder (for example, .config/letterboxd_stats in Linux) or specify your custom folder with the -c command. For each platform, default config folder follows the structure of the platformdirs package.

# Where you want the .csv file of your Letterboxd activity to be saved.
root_folder = "~/Documents/letterboxd_stats/"

[CLI]
# The size of the ASCII art poster printed in your terminal when you check the details of a movie.
# Set to 0 to disable
poster_columns = 180
# Set ascending order for sorting of tables
ascending = false

[TMDB]
api_key = "YOUR_TMDB_API_KEY"
# When you get your lists (-L options), also get all the runtimes from TMDB
# and compute the mean of the ratings weighted on the durations. This slows the process.
get_list_runtimes = false

To do

Note: this is something I do during my free time. Therefore, I can't promise consistent support for this project.

• Use web-scraping to add film to diary/wishlist

• Check followers' activity.
