TRYNT Movie IMDB Web Service (v1)
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.
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.
