Back when AMC started to use scripts, IMDb was not fully against it: as long as it was for personal use and clearly stated that data came from IMDb, it was tolerated. It may of course have changed. Maybe one should search in the legal terms of IMDb if they mention something about that clearly ...

Thank you so much to both of you.

Since IMDB is blocking scrappers I seriously suggest that this issue should be addressed in private. Since this forum is public, any method suggested in here will be seen by IMDB team, they will block anything you guys make and who know if they decide to take this matter to the next level.

They don ...

This is how it could be fixed (MAYBE!!!), at least for Windows (this should work on linux too): chromedriver + chrome + batch script + hidden win32 desktop
I did a quick & dirty test and this seems to work.

This is the circus:
- AMC does not use GetPage but it calls an external script using ...

Oh! that's easy to do! just import the movies into a new catalog and uncheck the option: "import all extras for new movies"



But remember, you also have options in the script for the image layout:

Could you clarify what you mean by extra images? Do you mean removing actor profile images across several selected movies?

Please test this API version I managed to do with claude code (original script made by J):

I think is working! tell me if you find any issues.

1) Actors pictures is not basic. AMC doesn't have field for this.


The script " IMDb (Actor images) " was adding Extras with pictures for the actors (unrelated to the "Actors" field). That feature was then transferred to the main IMDb script by some contributor, and I didn't notice that at ...

The API doesn't have actor images (as other important information like aspect ratio, awards, etc...) there is nothing we can do here about that because we only gather what is available inside the API in the first place.


The API has everything, where you got idea that it doesn't have something ...

Thank you Dorohedoro for your reply

So Actor pictures is a no-go for the API. How sad. But I think I will manage and survive. And who knows in the future something will come up.

Meanwhile the imdb actor image could be repaired? Or faces the same problem as the IMDB script?

Do you know about the ...

Hello Everyone
Thank you again and again for fixing the issue with IMDB script and creating this new one via API.

Quick question. Not sure but it seems it is just me as I see no others complaining.
I just downloaded the latest version 2.1.0 and tried it out.
It works super fast. Still I am ...

If it is blocked permanently in the current way they block it now, unfortunately I don't have a solution :(


If that's the case, it was a good ride using this script for all those years.

Thank you so much to you and all the collaborators for all the hard work put into this amazing project ...

So, if this bot protection is enforced from now on it means this script is done for good? Is there something we can do besides the API?

Hi, Munkey!

First, thank you for this script. I love its speed.

I was wondering, however, if there's any chance it could do the following:

- retain actor tags like 'voice' and 'uncredited' (providing they're included in the API response, obviously);
- allow the user to use '/' as a ...

Yeah it's working! whoohooo!!!

But they are up to something...

Unfortunately it won't be so easy :/
It seems that indeed AMC is blocked, but it is not targeted explicitly to AMC via user agent: they use some filtering that detects bots (Firefox using AMC's user agent works fine, for example).
I tried to use what was created for Filmaffinity, via cURL, but it ...

I think imdb is trying to block scraping. The API works though.

Maybe it's the time to fully embrace the API? It's there any way to extract actor images using that method?


Or they just made a tiny change in their page, on a tag that was used by the script to start the analysis.
I'll take a ...

Pareil pour moi le script ne fonctionne plus du tout, même pas en collant l'url.
ça renvoie l'erreur : Movie number could not be extracted from the page (sc ipt outdated?)


Thank God I'm not the only one.
