Imports Letterboxd scores into taste.io

README.md

Letterboxd -> Taste.io import script

This script imports your Letterboxd ratings into taste.io.

Usage

Too lazy to make this into an npm package so here's how you could use it. You'll need nodejs and npm.

1. Save the script
2. Run npm i through2 JSONStream got cookie x-ray in the script's directory
3. Login to taste.io and go to your home page. Open your browser's developer tools to the network tab. Refresh the page and look for the request to the /me endpoint. Copy the Authorization token from the headers.
4. Edit the script at the top with your own letterboxd username and taste.io token.
5. Run node letterboxd2taste.js
6. cool ur done now

letterboxd2taste.js

'use strict'

// CONFIGURE YOUR SETTINGS HERE
// Letterboxd username
const LETTERBOXD_USERNAME = 'rahatarmanahmed'

// Taste.io Authorization token
// Too lazy to impl auth considering my account is facebook oauth'd
const TOKEN = ''

// Maps letterboxd 10 point rating scale to taste.io 4 point scale.
// Adjust if desired
const mapRating = function(rating) {
    //            1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8, 9, 10
    return [null, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4][rating]
}

just what i was looking for. does this still work? if so, what happens if the movie is missing from taste database? thanks in advance.

i dunno i just wrote this in an hour 3 years ago, it's not exactly production quality.

@pedromga Check out my Gist above, I used it myself in August :)
