About this endpoint
GET /v1/letterboxd/members/popular returns data.users. Each row has username, displayName, avatar, badge, filmsWatched, reviewsCount, listsCount and likesCount. One call returns the first 30 unique members; there is no page or cursor parameter and no next page.
Counts are nullable when not available, so treat null as unknown rather than zero. The index is a browsing surface, not a ranking of every member.
Letterboxd Popular Members API FAQ
Which counts are on each row?
filmsWatched, reviewsCount, listsCount and likesCount are the member's own public counters. Any of them can be null when not available.
How many members does one call return?
Up to 30 unique members. The route takes no page or cursor, so a call always returns the same first 30.
How many credits does a popular-members lookup cost?
Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
What does lookupStatus mean here?
found means the popular-members response answered, even if it holds fewer rows. not_found means it was not found.
