PHP imdb-api-streaming-movies that can fetch film data and search results.

forked from hmerritt/imdb-api package with adding some custom functionalities

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install the latest version using [composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

```
$ composer require zvenn/api-imdb-streaming-movies

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

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

[](#options)

NameTypeDefault ValueDescription`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`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

[](#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");
```
