IMDb-API

API

Access movie, TV show, and cast data easily

Overview

IMDb-API offers RESTful endpoints to retrieve detailed data on movies, TV series, and cast members. Key endpoints include /Title (for media details like ratings, plot summaries, and release dates), /Search (to find media by title), and /Name (for cast/crew profiles with filmography). Responses are in JSON format, simplifying integration. Use cases include building movie recommendation apps, adding media details to streaming platforms, creating cast profile pages, or generating watchlist tools. It supports freemium pricing, with free access for basic data and rate limits, while paid plans unlock higher request caps and advanced features.

Example Integration (JavaScript)
