This PHP library enables you to scrap data from IMDB.com., (*1)
The script is a proof of concept. Itâs mostly working, but you shouldnât use it. IMDb doesnât allow this method of data fetching. I personally do not use or promote this script, youâre fully responsive if youâre using it., (*2)
The technique used is called âweb scrapingâ. This means, if IMDb changes anything within their HTML source, the script is most likely going to fail. I wonât update this regularly, so donât count on it to be working all the time., (*3)
