There’s no way I know off to query for the IMDB ID directly

You need to do something like:

`GET /library/sections/<KEY_OF_SECTION>/all?X-Plex-Container-Start=0&X-Plex-Container-Size=50`

Above will return the first 50 entries  
Get the key value from each of them one by one, and issue a GET on that, like  
`/library/metadata/51998`

Then get the next 50 items  
`GET /library/sections/<KEY_OF_SECTION>/all?X-Plex-Container-Start=50&X-Plex-Container-Size=50`
