The IMDB Search API returns detailed information about movies, TV shows, and web series, including metadata such as title, release year, genre, cast, and images.
Key fields in the response include "id" (unique identifier), "l" (title), "y" (release year), "s" (cast), "i" (image details), and "rank" (search ranking).
The response data is structured in JSON format, with a main object containing an array of results. Each result includes nested objects for images and metadata.
The primary parameter is the content name, which should be provided without spaces and followed by ".json" (e.g., "inception.json") to retrieve specific data.
The endpoint provides information on various media types, including movies, TV shows, and web series, covering details like cast, release dates, and genres.

If the search yields partial or empty results, users should implement error handling to notify users and possibly suggest alternative queries or broader search terms.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
