I'm just wondering what other 'encoding' rules are needed to use this flawlessly? More specifically, besides replacing blank spaces with '+', what other changes should we watch out for in our search queries? Hey,

great job with this. it’s a really useful tool. I’m just wondering what other ‘encoding’ rules are needed to use this flawlessly? More specifically, besides replacing blank spaces with ‘+’, what other changes should we watch out for in our search queries?

But bottomline is, users of your software should agree with your usage terms, which are something in the lines of not using it illegally and for personal non-commercial use only. But there's enough information on the web on how to assemble a disclaimer. But at first I'd take a look at how much of you application is actually allowed following IMDB's terms. Perhaps even by contacting them. And since you're offering your software as a service providing someone else's information, perhaps you should consider to provide it as a library. (That's easier to cover in any disclaimer/using terms.) This atleast is my interpretation of IMDB's imo well covered usage terms. Good luck with your application :) @ThumNet

Great project for sure, but is it legal? Since your software is public and not having any disclaimers (I couldnt find any), anybody could use your software for commercial and non-personal purposes. Take a look here: http://www.imdb.com/licensing/noncommercial I wouldn't want you, or the users to get in trouble for this ;) Regards, nico Hi there.
