I look at how IMDb treats their data and laugh. It's basically an excuse for an API of 1990. This makes their system look like a big wooden network of pulleys and ropes. And I thought it was an Amazon company...
- iamelgringo 19y agoI know. They do allow you to download a version of their database in text file format. A better option is to use PyIMBD: http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/ http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/ It's a decent API wrapper written in Python. I've messed around with it some. It's pretty cool. Although the licensing terms from the IMDB's webite were pretty strict, I thought. Basically, if you used their data for anything resembling profit, (i.e. the Netflix prize) you've violated the TOS.
