IMDB API implementation to get movie information


IMDb (Internet Movie Database) is the biggest database of movie information on Internet. IMdb has over 2 million titles of movies and episodes. IMDb is a reliable source for movie information to be used for web applications related to movie and television episodes. Unfortunately IMDb has not published APIs to get the movie information programatically. But fortunately there exists a third party API source (omdbapi.com) from which IMDb movie information can be fetched programatically and used in our applications. The OMDb (Open Movie Database) APIs were developer by Brian Fritz and are widely used to get IMDb movie information.
