TRYNT TV IMDB Web Service
The TRYNT TV IMDB Web Service provides limited access to the television data at IMDB. Since IMDB does not offer an API, this API is made available 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 television show episode data.
If you use this free TRYNT API/Web Service you must provide proper attribution to comply with our terms of service.
