About the TRYNT Movie IMDB Web Service

The TRYNT Movie IMDB Web Service provides programatic access to a sub-set of IMDB data. While the IMDB is a very useful data-set (you can even download your own copy!) it lacks an API. This API was developed to bridge the gap.

This web service provides two methods. The first method helps dentifies exact movie titles and corresponding IMDB movie ids from a user supplied movie title string or sub-string. Here are a few examples:

• "Dazed and Confused"
• "Terminator"
  

You'll notice on the second example we return all three terminator movies. The resulting XML includes what we percieve is the "best match" as well as all possible matches with scoring data.

Once the correct film and corresponding IMDB movie id has been found you can use the second method to fetch IMDB movie data.

• "Dazed and Confused"
• "Terminator"
