TRYNT Movie IMDB Web Service (v2)
The TRYNT Movie IMDB Web Service provides programatic access to a sub-set of IMDB data. While the IMDB is a very useful data-set (you can even download your own copy!) it lacks an API. This API was developed to bridge the gap.
Version 2.0 of this web service features multiple export formats (XML, JSON and Serialized-PHP), caching and lots of new data fields including: Actors, Writers, AKA Titles, Certification, User Comments, Goofs, Trivia, Runtime and much more. We've also corrected a language parsing bug. (Thx Peter)
This web service offers two methods. A search by title method and a search by id or url method. Using the two methods provided you can easily extract the relevant movie data.
If you use this free TRYNT API/Web Service you must provide proper attribution to comply with our terms of service.
