Getting your IDs

In order to get your FilmAffinity data you need to find out what your FilmAffinity ID is. There are different IDs for your user ratings and your lists.

How to get your user id

Go to your profile page and copy the user_id field from the URL:

filmaffinity.com/es/userratings.php?user_id=XXXXXX

How to get a list id

Go to the list pages (in the left menu), and access the list you want (it needs to be public).

You need to copy the list_id field from the URL:

filmaffinity.com/es/mylist.php?list_id=XXXXXX

Options

• --list LIST sets ID of the public list you want to export
• --csv FILE sets CSV export file name to FILE
• --lang LANG sets language to LANG. Letterboxd importer works best in English, the default option.

Run fa-scraper --help to see further options.
