And what if this goes down? :P Would be nice if you could release the source code, or have it as a backup elsewhere.

On topic:

Nice app. Design looks great and minimal.

I found a bug, Enter button doesn't work, you have to click on "Search" to get it working.

Perhaps you could add a progress bar to see if its really fetching from Imdb :P

Added enter to submit.
Not sure how i could do a progressbar but will look into it. :)

Thanks froomple i will put it up on another host just as an alternative.
Don't plan on this going down as the currency converter on that server i built for myself and i use it almost daily :)

working Now. nice work, just one suggestion add another option to crawl from full imdb url. like ignore the entire url & only catch up the code automatically.

i hope it stays..

there is another one imdb.katzddl.ws BUT it upload images to katz server which is not safe its better to go with imgur.
 
Yea i knew about that one but didn't like that they uploaded the image to their server, Like you said imgur is better :)

Will add crawling with a full url next.
 
Nice work man, as Froomple said, releasing the code would be a major contribution. If you're still improving on it, I'd make it work with requests such as "transformers 3", "transformers 2"...etc, it currently fails to fetch it while I got another IMDB grabber that does.
 
Added the ability to crawl with imdb url :)

@RT, Yea i'm still working on it, Will look into that seems like you have to be specific with the title. Will probably release the sauce once i'm done adding things.
 
bro one more suggestion ADD imdb url in info as well. your script only crawl imdb info but votes are suppose to get more as days passed so it will be better to add url as well.
 
Source is up on Github will update the first post, Will keep it up on my server but you can put it on yours if you want.

Thank you very much,

Writers:

Country:

can you add more this?
 
The script shared on Git contains a call to the main site - so this is a wrapper over the actual stuff that hasn't been shared.

PHP: 
if (substr($search_movie, 0, 2) === 'tt'){ 
        $endpoint = 'http://omdbapi.com/?i='. $movie .'&t=';        
}else {                
        $endpoint = 'http://omdbapi.com/?i=&t='.$movie;        
}
A simple call to this site retrieves data in Json format and I believe the code has to be changed on omdbapi.com to get the other details.

Thanks!
 
Correct seemed pointless to re-invent the wheel when there are plenty of other api's out there.

Just checked the script on my host (its the same as in the git repo nothing has changed) seems to grab just fine.

Are you getting any errors ? or anything.
