IMDb Search Scraper - Titles, People & IMDb IDs
Pricing
$2.50 / 1,000 item returneds
Search IMDb for titles, people and companies. This reads IMDb's autocomplete index, so about 8 results come back per query. No ratings. You get the IMDb ID, year, category and poster. Also the stars or known-for line and popularity rank. $2.50 per 1,000.
A single thing to search IMDb for — a movie, TV show or person name, e.g. "breaking bad" or "tom hanks". For several searches at once, use the "queries" field below instead (or as well).
Run several searches in one go — one request per term, results merged and de-duplicated by IMDb id. Use this to get more than the ~8 results a single query returns (the suggestion API has no pagination). Example: ["inception", "the matrix"]. If both "query" and "queries" are set, all are searched.
[]Which kinds of results to keep: "all" (titles + people + companies), "titles" (movies/shows only, IMDb ids starting tt), or "people" (cast/crew only, ids starting nm).
Maximum number of de-duplicated rows to return across all queries. NOTE: a single query returns a fixed ~8 results (the suggestion API has no pagination); to get more, add more terms to "queries". If maxItems exceeds what's available, the actor just returns what it found.
Optional. Write each item as a page into your Notion when the run finishes. Authorize a Notion connector once in Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors, then pick it here. Leave empty to skip (default) — results are always saved to the dataset regardless.
Optional. The Notion data source ID of the database to write into (only used if a Notion connector is set). Leave empty to create the pages privately in your workspace instead.
OPTIONAL. IMDb's suggestion API is a public, no-auth JSON endpoint with no anti-bot, so no proxy is needed and the default routes traffic directly (saving proxy credits). Only enable Apify Proxy if you hit IP rate limits when running very high volumes.
