IMDb-API

Community web service (operated under the IMDb-API / TV-API brand) providing movie, TV series and cast information in JSON. Aggregates data from IMDb, TheMovieDb, Wikipedia, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, TheTVDB, FilmAffinity and YouTube. Originally hosted at imdb-api.com and migrated to tv-api.com. Operated by the IMDb-API GitHub user (open source C# client library and Windows client app). NOT an official IMDb / Amazon product — IMDb itself does not expose a public API; community scrapers such as this one (alongside OMDb, TMDB and Apify's IMDb scraper) fill the gap.

IMDb-API publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including External API, Lists API, Name API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Video, Movies, TV, Entertainment, and Metadata.

The IMDb-API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

IMDb-API’s developer surface includes authentication, pricing, signup flow, tooling, and 14 more developer resources.
