Hey. My brother asked me if I could write him something that iteratively scans his directories for movies and scrapes the web for data on the movie. I know there probably exist dozens of such thing, the aim is to be minimal here. I need public-exposed endpoints that allow for scraping of their data. I just need the endpoints, I don’t need anything else. I am writing the script in Ruby but I may switch to C if it’s too slow. It’s pretty IO-bound anyways so it doesn’t matter what I use.

So if any of you knows a good publicly-exposed, free API to grab data about movies and TV shows, tell me. I will share the program/script later on for everyone to use.

Thanks.
