IMDbOT

API

Unofficial API for IMDb movie and series information

Overview

IMDbOT is an unofficial RESTful API that scrapes IMDb to provide access to movie and series data, including titles, ratings, release dates, cast/crew, plot summaries, genres, and runtime details. It supports endpoints for content search, specific title retrieval, and cast list access. Responses are formatted in JSON for seamless integration. Ideal use cases include building movie recommendation platforms, enhancing media libraries with metadata, creating trivia tools, or adding entertainment info to blogs. Note: As an unofficial tool, usage may violate IMDb’s terms of service, so users should exercise caution.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://github.com/SpEcHiDe/IMDbOT')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
