IMDB predates html and http protocols.
When IMDB was sold, it was seen as if wikipedia was sold to a private company. Amazon promised to leave IMDB mostly alone, and to provide data feeds / db backups for free. They are still available although new features of IMDb have not been migrated to the original datasets.
- GordonS 3y agoI'm still salty about Amazon removing the IMDB forums :(
- nntwozz 3y agoI've been using moviechat.org ever since that happened, it's a great substitute.
- at_a_remove 3y agoEh, the data feeds have narrowed, or at least they have since the last time I looked at them. It used to have exports of things like soundtracks. You wouldn't think that was valuable but I ended up using it.

Still, it's nice that this still exists. https://developer.imdb.com/non-commercial-datasets/ https://developer.imdb.com/non-commercial-datasets/
