README

An IMDB Scrapper like you have your own imdb engine.

This script is a proof of concept. It’s working, but you shouldn’t use it. IMDb doesn’t allow this method of data fetching. I do not use or promote this script. You’re responsible for using it.

The technique used is called “web scraping.” Which means, if IMDb changes any of their HTML, the script is going to fail. I won’t update this on a regular basis, so don’t count on it to be working all the time.

Installation

Install this package via Composer.

composer require "aalfiann/imdb-engine:^1.0"

Get Movies by ID

require_once ('vendor/autoload.php');
use \aalfiann\IMDB;

$imdb = new IMDB();
$imdb->query    = 'tt3829266';      // ID IMDB Movie {required}
$imdb->trailer  = false;            // This will make faster because there is no second request to get video trailer. Default value is true.
echo var_dump($imdb->find()->getMovie());

Make output into JSON

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $imdb->find()->getMovieJson(JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Search Movies

require_once ('vendor/autoload.php');
use \aalfiann\IMDB;

$imdb = new IMDB();
$imdb->query    = 'The Predator';   // Movie title {not required}. If blank then will show the new popular movies. The title must be don't include year or only conjunctions.
$imdb->genres   = '';               // You can filter by input multiple genres with commas separated
$imdb->userid   = '';               // You can filter by input user id. Ex. Jackie Chan user id is >> nm0000329
$imdb->start    = 1;                // Start number for navigation in many results.
$imdb->itemsperpage = 50;           // You can change this with 50, 100 and 250. Default is 50.
echo var_dump($imdb->search()->getList());

Make output into JSON

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $imdb->search()->getListJson(JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Search Artist to get user id

require_once ('vendor/autoload.php');
use \aalfiann\IMDB;

$imdb = new IMDB();
$imdb->query = 'Audrey Hepburn';    // Artist name {required}
$imdb->start = 1;                   // Start number for navigation in many results.
$imdb->itemsperpage = 50;           // You can change this with 50, 100 and 250. Default is 50.
echo var_dump($imdb->searchArtist()->getArtistList());

Make output into JSON

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $imdb->searchArtist()->getArtistListJson(JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Use Proxy

If your ip address has blocked by IMDB, you can make request with proxy.
Just add this line:

$imdb->proxy = '12.62.65.30:8124';  // IP:Port server proxy
$imdb->proxyauth = 'user:pass';     // Proxy authentication if any
