Webservice / API to get the Movie information

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Is there any API to retreive all the information about a movie.

Like we have IMDB[^] website, which contains all the information about all the movies. But I think they dont provide any API to serve the other website.

The other one I found is TMDB API. But I want some other.

So please help me if anyone have any idea. I had searched a lot.

Thanks in advance

If you want, you can always programmatically scrap data from the Web site without any API, the same way the interactive user would do via a Web browser.

You need to follow the all the HTTP requests an interactive user would do. Use the class System.Net.HttpWebRequest using Method like "GET" to download a page, "POST" for search requests. Your compile-time type should be System.Net.WebRequest as the actual run-time type is created based on Uri Schema by its factory method Create. For a code sample, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webrequest.aspx[^].
