Plex API querying IMDB ID

Dev Community Dev/API Corner
1

Hello working on making an automated way to grab new movies not in my Plex Movie server. Ran into an issue, when querying the API, I was able to get IMDB info now after an upgrade, and prob misc other changes I don’t seem to be able to get that data anymore?

Here was a screen shot of what I see:

12%20PM

I have also changed the movie agent back to ‘Plex movie’ instead of ‘the movie database’.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I have also queried the DB, looking for something different and its the same as well.

You could always try and get it from OMDB API based on title and year

It’s another call, but I was doing something similar to identify missing movies from any collections I had

`	res= requests.get("http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey="+OMDBAPI+"&type=movie&r=xml&t="+title+"&y="+str(year))
	IMDBResponse = BeautifulSoup(res.text,"html.parser")
	IMDBMovie = IMDBResponse.select_one('movie')
	IMDBRating = ""
	#metaRating = ""
	imdbID = IMDBMovie.get("imdbid")

Great suggestion man! I thought about that as well, but they only give a 1k free away a day. I have 1300ish movies.

I might switch to this, if there isn’t another way.

Thanks for your help.

Perhaps store the IMDB IDs locally once you’ve grabbed them and query that going forwards (or start it off at 11:55pm) :wink:

Changed the agent to ‘plex movie’ instead of TheMoviedatabase, and see the IMDB information again. This does require you to delete, and re-import the library stuff FYI…

Feel free to close.
