I’ll jump straight to my question: Is there a dedicated RSS feed (or API) for the movies / series I end up finding and blogging about via the new(ish) Movies feature?
I’m currently redoing my personal blog and pulling latest watched data via Letterboxd (which works just fine, with rating, cover art and all). But they only have movies, no series there unfortunately. I’m also pulling my latest reads via micro.blog’s book API (that works great!).
Would prefer using the micro.blog’s movie feature, but like said, would love to be able to somehow pull my latest watch to the website template via RSS parsing or API.
There’s not a public feed for movies and TV, but there probably should be. Until then, I can tell you how our Epilogue app works around this.
We use the Micropub API and pass ?q=source&filter=themoviedb.org. This will return all of your blog posts that have a link to themoviedb.org, which Micro.blog includes by default in movie and TV posts. In that JSON response, there’s also a microblog-thumbnail field that has a URL to the movie poster.
Micropub needs an Authorization header with a Micro.blog token, so it’s not a good fit if this is in public JS for your blog that anyone can read.
Another option is you could create a “Movies” category on your blog, then add a Micro.blog filter (Categories → Edit Filters) that automatically assigns posts that contain a emoji to that category. Then each category will have a public RSS or JSON Feed.
emoji to that category. Then each category will have a public RSS or JSON Feed.
