# Letterboxd Export
This program, by spoofing a login to [letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com), will download a full `.csv` export of user data, typically downloaded from [letterboxd.com/settings/data/](https://letterboxd.com/settings/data/). This is handy if you want to do regular full data backups in an automated fashion, given that the API does not expose all of the relevant data.
> **Warning**:
> This program is probably extremely prone to breaking due to spoofing requests typically only made by the letterboxd front end. If this does not work for you, please submit a bug report and I will try to keep it somewhat up to date to changes to the way the letterboxd website works, but I make no general promises of this.
> This program is extremely prone to breaking due to spoofing requests

>
> As of December 2025, Letterboxd has forbidden the use of scrapers, and put
> measures in place to prevent this program from working.
> See the [terms of service](https://letterboxd.com/legal/terms-of-use/).
