    <p>The IMDb currently has two public APIs that are, although undocumented, very quick and reliable (used on their own site through AJAX).</p> <ol> <li><p>A statically cached search suggestions API:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://sg.media-imdb.com/suggests/a/aa.json" rel="noreferrer">http://sg.media-imdb.com/suggests/a/aa.json</a></li> <li><a href="http://sg.media-imdb.com/suggests/h/hello.json" rel="noreferrer">http://sg.media-imdb.com/suggests/h/hello.json</a></li> <li>Format: JSONP</li> <li><p>Downside:</p> <ul> <li><p>It's in JSONP format, however the callback parameter can not be set by passing a callback-query parameter. In order to use it cross-domain you'll have to use the function name they choose (which is in the "imdb${searchphrase}" format, see example below). Or use a local proxy (e.g. a small php file) that downloads (and caches!) it from IMDb and strips the JSON-P callback, or replaces it with a custom callback.</p></li> <li><p>If there are no results, it doesn't gracefully fallback, but displays an XML error instead</p></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ol> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>// Basic window.imdb$foo = function (list) { /* ... */ }; jQuery.getScript('http://sg.media-imdb.com/suggests/f/foo.json'); // Using jQuery.ajax (let jQuery handle the callback) jQuery.ajax({ url: 'http://sg.media-imdb.com/suggests/f/foo.json', dataType: 'jsonp', cache: true, jsonp: false, jsonpCallback: 'imdb$foo' }).done(function (result) { /* ... */ }); // With local proxy to a PHP script replacing imdb$foo with a sanitized // version of $_GET['callback'] (https://stackoverflow.com/a/8811412/319266) jQuery.getJSON('./imdb.php?q=foo&amp;callback=?', function (list) { /* ... */ }); </code></pre> <ol start="2"> <li><p>More advanced search</p> <ul> <li>Name search (json): <a href="http://www.imdb.com/xml/find?json=1&amp;nr=1&amp;nm=on&amp;q=jeniffer+garner" rel="noreferrer">http://www.imdb.com/xml/find?json=1&amp;nr=1&amp;nm=on&amp;q=jeniffer+garner</a></li> <li>Title search (xml): <a href="http://www.imdb.com/xml/find?xml=1&amp;nr=1&amp;tt=on&amp;q=lost" rel="noreferrer">http://www.imdb.com/xml/find?xml=1&amp;nr=1&amp;tt=on&amp;q=lost</a></li> <li>Format: JSON, XML and more</li> <li>Downside: <ul> <li>No JSONP. In order to use from JavaScript cross-domain, a local proxy is required.</li> <li>No documentation, more formats may be available</li> </ul></li> <li>Upside <ul> <li>Live search!</li> <li>Name support for actors as well!</li> <li>Proper fallback to empty object </li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ol> <p>As said, both of these APIs are undocumented. They could change at any time.</p> <p>See also <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/8811412/319266">https://stackoverflow.com/a/8811412/319266</a>, for an example of a JSON API in PHP.</p>

    1. CORE: The JSONP API not gracefully falling back, (at least) it does return an HTTP error code, but I agree that it's funny that the response body is XML.

    2. COI recently noticed that it also includes an 'i' property for images. The url mentioned therein however is a very large image (likely the original). To get a thumbnail, IMDb uses the following: `if (ua.i) { c.img = { src: ua.i[0].replace("._V1_.jpg", "._V1._SX40_CR0,0,40,54_.jpg"), width: 40, height: 54 } }`.

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).
