i'm working on movie search as a side project and have been doing it via scraping



Are you guys avoiding using IMDb's data since it can't be used commercially?

yeah, too bad we need a written consent, i'm just scraping theater showtimes and will have to include links to imdb for more info, thankfully they let me do this "You are granted a limited, revocable, and nonexclusive right to create a hyperlink to IMDb.com" they are so generous for letting me link to them
