-# Letterboxd — Film Data Scraping
-
-`https://letterboxd.com` — film logging, rating, and review site. Film pages and user profile root pages are publicly accessible via `http_get` (~200–350ms). Most sub-pages (reviews, ratings, user film lists, browse/genre pages) return 403 and require the browser.
-
-## Access path decision table
-
-| Goal | Method | Latency |
-|------|--------|---------|
-| Film metadata (title, year, director, cast, genres, rating) | `http_get` + JSON-LD | ~200–350ms |
-| Film synopsis, poster, OG data | `http_get` + meta tags | same request |
-| Film popular reviews (top 12 inline) | `http_get` film page | same request |
-| User profile stats (film count, followers) | `http_get` user root | ~150ms |
-| Recent global activity stream | `http_get /films/` | ~200ms |
-| User watched film list | browser (`/{username}/films/`) | |
-| Ratings distribution histogram | browser (`/film/{slug}/ratings/`) | |
-| All reviews (paginated) | browser (`/film/{slug}/reviews/`) | |
-| Popular / browse / genre film lists | browser (`/films/popular/`, etc.) | |
-| Director / actor pages | browser (`/director/{slug}/`, `/actor/{slug}/`) | |
-| User diary / lists | browser (`/{username}/diary/`, `/{username}/lists/`) | |
-
-**Letterboxd's public API** (`api.letterboxd.com/api/v0/`) returns 401 on all endpoints — it requires OAuth2 client credentials (apply at letterboxd.com/api-beta/).
-
-**Cloudflare Turnstile** is configured in the page JS but is not blocking `http_get` on accessible pages. It only activates on the login form.

-
-Film pages at `letterboxd.com/film/{slug}/` are fully accessible. The JSON-LD block (Movie schema) contains everything you need in one parse.
-
-**URL slug format:** lowercase title, spaces replaced with hyphens. For disambiguation (same title, different year) append `-{year}`: e.g. `parasite-2019`, `alien-1979`.

-## Gotchas
-
-**JSON-LD is wrapped in CDATA comments** — `json.loads(block)` will fail without stripping the wrapper. Always strip `/* <![CDATA[ */` and `/* ]]> */` first:
-```python
-cleaned = re.sub(r'/\*\s*<!\[CDATA\[.*?\*/\s*', '', block, flags=re.DOTALL)
-cleaned = re.sub(r'/\*\s*\]\]>.*?\*/', '', cleaned, flags=re.DOTALL)
-data = json.loads(cleaned.strip())
-```
-
-**JSON-LD `name` is bare title, not "Title (Year)"** — `data['name']` returns `'Parasite'`, not `'Parasite (2019)'`. Year is in `data['releasedEvent'][0]['startDate']`. The OG `og:title` meta tag does include the year.
-
-**OG description contains HTML entities** — `og:description` and `tagline` use `&#039;` etc. Always call `html.unescape()` on them.
-
-**`languages` list can have duplicates** — e.g. Parasite returns `['Korean', 'English', 'German', 'Korean']`. Call `list(dict.fromkeys(result['languages']))` to deduplicate while preserving order.
-
-**Disambiguation slugs** — when two films share a title, Letterboxd appends the year to the slug: `parasite-2019` (Bong's film), vs `parasite` (1982 film). If your slug 404s, try appending `-{year}`.
-
-**403 pages** — `/film/{slug}/reviews/`, `/film/{slug}/ratings/`, `/film/{slug}/cast/`, `/film/{slug}/details/`, `/{username}/films/`, `/films/popular/`, `/films/by/rating/`, `/genre/{slug}/`, `/director/{slug}/`, `/actor/{slug}/` all return 403 to `http_get`. These require the browser.
-
-**CSI endpoints are 403** — Letterboxd loads the ratings histogram via `/csi/film/{slug}/rating-histogram/` which returns 403 without a session cookie. Access ratings distribution via browser on `/film/{slug}/ratings/`.
-
-**`/csi/` and `/ajax/` endpoints need session cookies** — these are used to populate the ratings histogram, friend activity, and popular review sections after page load. Only the inline HTML data (top 12 popular reviews) is available via `http_get`.
-
-**Cloudflare Turnstile is present but passive** — the `configuration.cloudflare.turnstile` object is in the page JS, but it only activates on the login form. It does not block unauthenticated reads on public film/user pages.
-
-**The official API requires OAuth** — `api.letterboxd.com/api/v0/` returns 401 on all endpoints. Apply for API access at letterboxd.com/api-beta/ to get client credentials.
-
-**Fans count is abbreviated** — `'133K'`, `'175K'`. Parse with:
-```python
-def parse_abbrev(s):
-    s = s.strip().upper()
-    if s.endswith('K'): return int(float(s[:-1]) * 1000)
-    if s.endswith('M'): return int(float(s[:-1]) * 1000000)
-    return int(s.replace(',', ''))
-```
-
-**Film slug from unknown title** — Letterboxd has no public search API. Construct the slug by lowercasing the title and replacing spaces with hyphens, then `http_get` and check for a 403/404 vs a valid JSON-LD block.

+
+## Gotchas
+
+**JSON-LD is wrapped in CDATA comments** — `json.loads(block)` will fail without stripping the wrapper. Always strip `/* <![CDATA[ */` and `/* ]]> */` first:
+```python
+cleaned = re.sub(r'/\*\s*<!\[CDATA\[.*?\*/\s*', '', block, flags=re.DOTALL)
+cleaned = re.sub(r'/\*\s*\]\]>.*?\*/', '', cleaned, flags=re.DOTALL)
+data = json.loads(cleaned.strip())
+```
+
+**JSON-LD `name` is bare title, not "Title (Year)"** — `data['name']` returns `'Parasite'`, not `'Parasite (2019)'`. Year is in `data['releasedEvent'][0]['startDate']`. The OG `og:title` meta tag does include the year.
+
+**OG description contains HTML entities** — `og:description` and `tagline` use `&#039;` etc. Always call `html.unescape()` on them.
+
+**`languages` list can have duplicates** — e.g. Parasite returns `['Korean', 'English', 'German', 'Korean']`. Call `list(dict.fromkeys(result['languages']))` to deduplicate while preserving order.
+
+**Disambiguation slugs** — when two films share a title, Letterboxd appends the year to the slug: `parasite-2019` (Bong's film), vs `parasite` (1982 film). If your slug 404s, try appending `-{year}`.
+
+**403 pages** — `/film/{slug}/reviews/`, `/film/{slug}/ratings/`, `/film/{slug}/cast/`, `/film/{slug}/details/`, `/{username}/films/`, `/films/popular/`, `/films/by/rating/`, `/genre/{slug}/`, `/director/{slug}/`, `/actor/{slug}/` all return 403 to `http_get`. These require the browser.
+
+**CSI endpoints are 403** — Letterboxd loads the ratings histogram via `/csi/film/{slug}/rating-histogram/` which returns 403 without a session cookie. Access ratings distribution via browser on `/film/{slug}/ratings/`.
+
+**`/csi/` and `/ajax/` endpoints need session cookies** — these are used to populate the ratings histogram, friend activity, and popular review sections after page load. Only the inline HTML data (top 12 popular reviews) is available via `http_get`.
+
+**Cloudflare Turnstile is present but passive** — the `configuration.cloudflare.turnstile` object is in the page JS, but it only activates on the login form. It does not block unauthenticated reads on public film/user pages.
+
+**The official API requires OAuth** — `api.letterboxd.com/api/v0/` returns 401 on all endpoints. Apply for API access at letterboxd.com/api-beta/ to get client credentials.
+
+**Fans count is abbreviated** — `'133K'`, `'175K'`. Parse with:
+```python
+def parse_abbrev(s):
+    s = s.strip().upper()
+    if s.endswith('K'): return int(float(s[:-1]) * 1000)
+    if s.endswith('M'): return int(float(s[:-1]) * 1000000)
+    return int(s.replace(',', ''))
+```
+
+**Film slug from unknown title** — Letterboxd has no public search API. Construct the slug by lowercasing the title and replacing spaces with hyphens, then `http_get` and check for a 403/404 vs a valid JSON-LD block.
