    <p>Can't really help you with your original question, as all links now seem to be dead!</p> <p>However, using <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">YQL</a> you might still be able to achieive what you are trying to do.</p> <blockquote> <p>What's YQL? select * from internet The Yahoo! Query Language (YQL) platform enables developers to query, filter, and combine data across the web. YQL exposes a SQL-like syntax that is both familiar to developers and expressive enough for getting the right data. </p> </blockquote> <p>There is also a listing of community provided tables that you can make use of which can be found at <a href="http://www.datatables.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.datatables.org/</a></p> <p>To make use of this, all you have to do is import the community tables in to the online YQL console or follow this handy link <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?env=http://datatables.org/alltables.env" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> which will give you a list of all tables from datatables.org and access to them from the YQL console.</p> <p>I've had a quick search through this for tables marked as movies so here are some queries you can try out to get further information! Although most of them are from nyt and require an api key, but yahoo seem to have taken care of that for us - information <a href="http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2009/10/yql_now_with_ap.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and a link to the console with this data imported is <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?env=store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> so for the bellow examples, you are probably best using that link.</p> <blockquote> <p>select * from movies.showtimes </p> <p>select * from nyt.movies.critics</p> <p>select * from nyt.movies.reviews where reviewer="VINCENT CANBY" </p> </blockquote> <p>As I don't know enough about what you want the data for, I don't know if any of this information will be of use, but I'm hoping that it is :]</p>

    2. COthanks for the very good answer. unfortunately the data i'm looking for is not available in a public database yet. I need actual movie metadata (synopsis, release date, actors, directors, genres, etc..).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
