Read my update post.
The site imdb.thumnet.com is a personal project that I recently released on the web.
This webservice/api supplies an interface for the Internet Movie DataBase (in short IMDB). It gives you the abbillity to search for, or view details of, a movie with a REST like request.
Some examples are:
- Searching for the matrix
http://imdb.thumnet.com/xml/search/the+matrix/ - Getting details for the matrix (id tt0133093)
http://imdb.thumnet.com/xml/title/tt0133093/
The output for the result of the request can be as XML or JSON. This makes it fairly easy to integrate movie information on you’re personal site.
For more information check out the site yourself.
