I built a cloudflare worker to convert a tmdb id (27205) to a letterboxd id (2a1m). Just before i ship the worker, letterboxd updated their cloudflare WAF to block my scrapper, so I had to change its User-Agent (to DiscordBot’s, used by discord to get the preview embed’s info) to make it work again!
I found out that the project was broken : it returned a not found error as it was hit by a Cloudflare “Just a moment” page so changed the user agent used by the fetcher to discord’s to bypass WAF

Created the Jellyfin plugin (by following jellyfin-plugin-template’s guide) and added per user config on the dashboard and on the main menu (using jellyfin-plugin-page) with working auth with the letterboxd api (the jellyfin server gets a refresh token from the letterboxd api using the creds provided by the user)

Used my iPad from HighSeas with proxyman to inspect the traffic from letterboxd and extract a few useful requests. Then generated an openapi specs file with postman.

Initialized project and added basic features. going to /tmdb/:id now shows info about the movie, including its letterboxd id.

Found a webpage talking about an url containing a tmdb that redirects to the corresponding letterboxd movie page (https://letterboxd.com/tmdb/:tmdb_id). This page contains the boxd.it short url of the movie, with the movie ID (https://boxd.it/:letterboxd_id).
