small, fast & useful movie app.
- website: https://kraxen72.github.io/imdb-fetch/
- quickly provides a movies/shows IMDb/TMDB id, and information about it.
- i made this primarily because imdb.com was too slow and i just needed the ids.
- feel free to check out API's used/credits and notes
also has mobile ui: (outdated screenshot but i cannot be bothered to re-make it in gimp)
- IMDb suggets api crude but free jsonp imdb api. only gives like 10 results or so but works.
- themoviedb.org TMDB api - used to fetch most info about the movie/show
- OMDb api request-limited api used to get IMDB, rotten and metacritic scores.
- thanks to this pen on codepen for circular progress
Any donations are highly appreciated! <3
- i wrote this fully client side webapp in summer 2021, used it on and off for the following year
- in september 2022 i decided to give it a pretty major rewrite, including a few of these things:
- almost full backend & api handling rewrite
- more information about shows like: status, episode length last & next episode to air
- a smart age rating system, that takes into account ages from multiple countries, picks the most likely one & shows others on hover. (this took really long but it's really cool) + also cool colors for different age groups
- better support for random imdb entries like "tv movie" and "video"
- full poster fetching rewrite, includding reverse-engineering a CDN api
- epic and pog circular progress for tmdb rating
- three or four styling & css rewrites.
