TRYNT Movie Movieweb Web Service
The TRYNT Movie MovieWeb Web Service provides programatic access to a sub-set of MovieWeb data. Similar to IMDB, MovieWeb does not provide an API, this API is made available to bridge the gap. If you plan to use this API please note that the data structure for theatrical release movies is different then videos already on DVD.
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.
