Import from IMDB

Open H4rp0 opened this issue 12 years ago • 8 comments

It would be a great feature to import data from IMDB. I don't know if it's feasible.

Bye!

I wrote a while ago some API to call XBMC scrapers (including IMDB). I'll do a followup on it.

The API is not yet finalized (still some issues). Need to reinstall my C++ environment and do some follow up with xbmc-team

There is still Public IMDB api and it is still against T&C to scrape data from IMDB, its up to devs to add this if they want anyway, but this post is here just as a reminder that been over a year an nothing has happened to this.

Marking as stale.

Its easier said than done. The IMDb API isn't public. People have worked out how to use it by reading the JavaScript. They have a habit of changing things that break the API without warning.

But that's not the main issue. Browsers are very picky about how cross domain JSON works. I'll have a look at it again when I get a chance but top of my to do list is to get web sockets working.

re-opened after @H4rp0 closed it.

If any dev dev wants to close this is ok. I dont mind either way ;)

Note to self: texturecache.py uses omdbapi for pulling info from IMDb.
