About IMDB Movie Scraper
Need to pull movie data from IMDb for a project? This scraper is what I use. It grabs the full details page for any movie you give it, turning that messy HTML into clean, structured data you can actually work with. You get the essentials like the title, rating, and cast list, plus all the other details IMDb shows—director, runtime, genres, plot summary, you name it. It saves everything in a tidy JSON or table format, ready to drop into a spreadsheet or a database. I've used it for building film recommendation apps, populating research databases, and even checking if my favorite actors have any new projects. It just works. You configure your target movie URL, run the actor, and it handles the rest, parsing the page layout to extract what you need. It’s a straightforward way to get reliable movie data without manually copying and pasting from a hundred different pages.
