PHP IMDB-API that can fetch film data and search results.

Install

Install the latest version using composer.

$ composer require hmerritt/imdb-api

Usage

// Assuming you installed from Composer:
require "vendor/autoload.php";
use hmerritt\Imdb;

$imdb = new Imdb;

// Search imdb
// -> returns array of films and people found
$imdb->search("Apocalypse");

// Get film data
// -> returns array of film data (title, year, rating...)
$imdb->film("tt0816692");

Options

Name	Type	Default Value	Description
`curlHeaders`	array	`['Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5']`	Custom headers can be passed to `cURL` when fetching the IMDB page
`cache`	bool	`true`	Caches film data to speed-up future requests for the same film
`cacheType`	string	`file` or `redis`	Choose how the caching is done. Either a local file database, or connect to a redis server
`cacheRedis`	array	`[ 'scheme' => 'tcp', 'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'port' => 6379, 'password' => '', 'database' => 0 ]`	Redis options
`techSpecs`	bool	`true`	Loads a films technical specifications (this will take longer as it makes a separate request)
`category`	string	`all`	What category to search for (films `tt`, people `nm` or companies `co`)

$imdb = new Imdb;

//  Options are passed as an array as the second argument
//  These are the default options
$imdb->film("tt0816692", [
    'cache'        => true,
    'curlHeaders'  => ['Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5'],
    'techSpecs'    => true,
]);

$imdb->search("Interstellar", [
    'category'     => 'all',
    'curlHeaders'  => ['Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5'],
]);

Best Match

If you do not know the imdb-id of a film, a search string can be entered. This will search imdb and use the first result as the film to fetch data for.

Note that this will take longer than just entering the ID as it needs to first search imdb before it can get the film data.

// Searches imdb and gets the film data of the first result
// -> will return the film data for 'Apocalypse Now'
$imdb->film("Apocalypse");
