What this project is for

imdb-scraper is an implementation-focused Python project for collecting public IMDb data. It is designed around one practical job: turn a query such as "restaurants in Seattle" into structured records you can inspect, export, and pass into an automation workflow.

Typical output

• names, source URLs, descriptions, and timestamps
• JSON or CSV files for downstream analysis
• Explicit timestamps and source links for traceability

Quick start

pip install -r requirements.txt
python scraper.py --query "restaurants in Seattle" --output results.json --max-results 100

To run from source:

git clone https://github.com/data-scrape/imdb-scraper.git
cd imdb-scraper
python scraper.py --query "restaurants in Seattle" --format csv --output results.csv

Example record

{
  "query": "restaurants in Seattle",
  "result": {
    "title": "Example public result",
    "source_url": "https://example.com/item/123",
    "captured_at": "2026-08-11T09:00:00Z",
    "metadata": {"platform": "IMDb", "category": "Entertainment Data Scrapers"}
  }
}

Workflow ideas

Goal	Start here
Research	Query a narrow audience, category, or location first
Build a repeatable dataset	Save JSON, version your query, then schedule a refresh
Connect to an AI workflow	Normalize the output schema before passing it to an agent or RAG pipeline
Scale data collection	Respect platform rules, add conservative delays, and measure error rates

Responsible use

This project is intended for public data and legitimate research or automation workflows. Review the target platform's terms, applicable laws, and your data-handling obligations before running a collection job. Do not use it to access private data or evade access controls.

CoreClaw for production workflows

When a proof of concept needs production-grade web data APIs rather than self-managed collection infrastructure, CoreClaw provides API-first access to public web data for AI agents and automation.
