Overview

Package imdb implements IMDb web API.

All operations require an http client such as:

client := http.DefaultClient

To search a title:

results, err := imdb.SearchTitle(client, "matrix")
...

results is a slice of imdb.Title results with basic information (Name, URL, Year).

To get detailed information on a title:

title, err := imdb.NewTitle(client, "tt0133093")
...

Actors, Rating, Description and other fields are available.
