IMDb datasets, providing bulk-access to IMDb title and name data, are now available from us via an HTTPS link. https://datasets.imdbws.com/ As a previous ftp user you can just switch to https, however there are some formatting changes within the data. For details on the new file formats and access guidelines, see www.imdb.com/interfaces. In our continued effort to best serve our Contributors, we have streamlined the datasets and made them available in a more useful and structured format. Notably: * Data refresh frequency is now daily (previously weekly). * IMDb title and name identifiers are included in all the files for ease of matching and linking back to IMDb. * The files are in tab separated values (TSV) format. * The sets of data we provide are updated to only include the essential ones that help with matching and linking to an IMDb title or name. * AKA Titles have been added to the basic dataset, and further extended datasets are also being developed to assist contributors. * As part of housekeeping the FTP site, the data files there will no longer be updated. If you are not an IMDb Contributor and wish to obtain IMDb content for commercial use, we offer a content license. The license grants you access to our content via an XML web service, plus the right to use the content in your product or service. If that interests you, please email licensing@imdb.com.
