Informations about the package bdmi
imdbphp
PHP library for retrieving film and TV information from IMDb. Retrieve most of the information you can see on IMDb including films, TV series, TV episodes, people. Search for titles on IMDb, including filtering by type (film, tv series, etc). Download film posters and actor images.
Quick Start
- Include imdbphp/imdbphp using composer, clone this repo or download the latest release zip.
- Find a film you want the metadata for e.g. Lost in translation http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0335266/
- If you're not using composer or an autoloader include
bootstrap.php
. - Get some data
Installation
This library scrapes imdb.com so changes their site can cause parts of this library to fail. You will probably need to update a few times a year. Keep this in mind when choosing how to install/configure.
Get the files with one of:
- Composer (recommended). Include the imdbphp/imdbphp package.
- Git clone. Checkout the latest release tag.
- Zip/Tar download
Requirements
- PHP >= 5.6
- PHP cURL extension
Configuration
imdbphp needs no configuration by default but can cache imdb lookups, store images and change languages if configured.
Configuration is done by the \Imdb\Config
class in src/Imdb/Config.php
which has detailed explanations of all the config options available.
You can alter the config by creating the object, modifying its properties then passing it to the constructor for imdb.
If you're using a git clone you might prefer to configure IMDbPHP by putting an ini file in the conf
folder. 900_localconf.sample
has some sample settings.
The cache folder is ./cache
by default. Requests from imdb will be cached there for a week (by default) to speed up future requests.
Advanced Configuration
Replacing the default cache (disk cache)
You can replace the caching mechanism that ImdbPHP uses to any PSR-16 (simple cache) cache by passing one into the constructor of any ImdbPHP class.
The only piece of imdbphp config that will be used with your cache is the TTL which is set by \Imdb\Config::$cache_expire
and defaults to 1 week.
Replacing the default logger (which echos coloured html, and is disabled by default)
The logger will mostly tell you about http requests that failed at error level, each http request at info and some stuff like cache hits at debug.

Demo site
The demo site gives you a quick way to make sure everything's working, some sample code and lets you easily see some of the available data.
From the demo folder in the root of this repository start up php's inbuilt webserver and browse to [http://localhost:8000]()
php -S localhost:8000
Gotchas / Help
SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
Windows
The cURL library either hasn't come bundled with the root SSL certificates or they're out of date. You'll need to set them up:
- Download cacert.pem
- Store it somewhere in your computer.
C:\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem
- Open your php.ini and add the following under
[curl]
curl.cainfo = "C:\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"
- Restart your webserver.
Linux
cURL uses the certificate authority file that's part of linux by default, which must be out of date. Look for instructions for your OS to update the CA file or update your distro.
Configure languages
Sometimes IMDb gets unsure that the specified language are correct, if you only specify your unique language and territory code (de-DE). In the example below, you can find that we have chosen to include de-DE (German, Germany)
, de (German)
and en (English)
. If IMDb can’t find anything matching German, Germany, you will get German results instead or English if there are no German translation.
Please use The Unicode Consortium Langugage-Territory Information database for finding your unique language and territory code.
Langauge | Code | Territory | Code |
---|---|---|---|
German | de | Germany {O} | DE |
After you have found your unique language and territory code you will need to combine them. Start with language code (de), add a separator (-) and at last your territory code (DE); de-DE
. Now include your language code (de); de-DE,de
. And the last step add English (en); de-DE,de,en
.
