    The Letterboxd API does not have a public pricing model with tiered plans
    or pay-per-use fees. Access is provided free of charge to approved developers
    whose use cases align with Letterboxd's guidelines. There is no self-service
    sign-up or commercial API marketplace listing. Access is granted on a
    case-by-case basis following a review of the submitted use case.

    as of June 2026. Developers should confirm current terms directly
    with Letterboxd at api@letterboxd.com.
