Incomplete Information using IMDB Script

[humungus]

Many thanks for your work, MrObama2022!

I updated a large number of movies with your script, however I'm now dangerously close to 500 API calls and I have no idea when the counter is supposed to reset... I had registered in the middle of June, but most of my API calls were after July 15th.

Anyway, I think the script is a success as I didn't notice any particular issues with it. The Cameo/Director Cameo/Director Trademark things are included although they seem to be placed randomly among the rest of the Trivia and not at the end as on the website. I assume that's API's doing, as I can't imagine how or why the script would do that. Doesn't bother me, though, as long as they're included. Spoilers are placed at the end nicely.

A very very minor gripe might be that there's always an extra empty line at the end of Trivia, and when there is no Trivia the field is nonetheless populated with 'IMDB TRIVIA:' title. Nothing I can't deal with, of course, just letting you know.

AKA Titles also seem to work fine, but I was wondering if API returns the country and title type (ie. 'working title' etc.) information. If so, would it be possible to add an option to include that information? It's quite useful to me, although I can certainly manage without it if it's too much work.

Thanks for the feedback
I should include that script as the new official one then

An issue has cropped up recently. If there is no Trivia to fetch, two instances of error message "HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" are displayed. I don't recall this happening back in September when I last used the script before last week when I first saw this.

Two sample movies: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075776, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303838

Thanks for the new script.
I noticed it wasn't the same as the 4.028 Alpha version from July of 2023.

What do you mean?
I've put on my server the version available from last page: https://forum.antp.be/phpbb3/viewtopic. ... 084#p87084
(I just modified the message at the end, since AMC 4.2.3 is not beta any more)
Was there another update that I missed?

I was referring to the Alpha version from https://forum.antp.be/phpbb3/viewtopic. ... 084#p87084 being slightly larger, 66,713 bytes compared to 66,555 for the one on the server now.
Your modification at the end would explain that. I thought it might have been because of a fix for the problem mentioned from
https://forum.antp.be/phpbb3/viewtopic. ... 028#p88028

I took that version, but indeed a small size difference is due to the change of the message.
I still have to fix that problem reported by Humungus (still on my to-do list).

Hi,
How do you get the RapidAPI key required for the trivia section of the IMDB Script?

[antp]

https://rapidapi.com/
and click "Get started for free" to create an account (or "Signup").
Then on the page https://rapidapi.com/apidojo/api/imdb8 you have a blue "Subscribe to test" button, then select the plan at 0$.
The key is visible on that screen, a little below the blue button (but to have it working, you need to subscribe)

I've read your post from earlier with the same instructions, problem is the link https://rapidapi.com/apidojo/api/imdb8 returns "API not found".

It seems that the link works only if you are registered/logged in on the site

[DarKHawK]

I am registered and logged in into the site. I tried opening it on a different browser, different device, on a VPN, and it's still "API not found"
Does it open for you?
Edit: That's strange. It started working again. Weird.
Thank you though.
