Important Update: Project Discontinued 🔔

IMDb has recently launched their official API, providing developers with authorized access to their database. Given this development, I've made the decision to discontinue maintenance of this project for the following reasons:

  1. To avoid potential conflicts with IMDb's terms of service and intellectual property rights.
  2. To encourage the use of officially supported and maintained data sources.

Recommendations for users of this project:

  1. Transition to IMDb's official API for the most up-to-date and reliable movie data.
  2. Consider using alternative sources like TMDB (The Movie Database) API as another robust option.

This repository will be archived to preserve the code for reference purposes. Thank you to all contributors and users for your support throughout this project's lifespan.

For any questions or concerns, please refer to IMDb's developer documentation or explore TMDB's API offerings.
