IMDB API


Question

Has anyone here worked with the IMDB API?  I want to write (for entirely personal use) a lookup against the API to match movie names against a string (for example).

Thing is, I see they use AWS for access (which is new to me), and moreover, not sure how to interpret the costs.

The code side looks pretty simple.

Was just reading the pricing and it looks like they have a $150k USD upfront cost to use it.Screenshot2024-10-30at1_28_33PM.thumb.png.da6230626541830701514a140f5aad08.png

Damn son.

Anyways, that's not necessary. If it's for personal use your metering will never kick in from just scrapping the website with Python from each request. BeautifulSoup will do this job. Bonus points for making the API how you want it to be! Without looking I assume the page is statically rendered, if not there are libraries for Python to deal with that too, I believe even "requests" has the capability.

you could always use the TMDB (The Movie DataBase) API which is free for personal use...
