Questions

FAQ

How do I use the IMDb Plot Summary API?

Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/imdb/title-plot-query with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.

How much does the IMDb Plot Summary API cost?

$0.01 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.

What parameters does the IMDb Plot Summary API accept?

Required: id (string). Optional: languageCountry (one of en_US, fr_CA, fr_FR, de_DE, hi_IN, it_IT, pt_BR, es_ES, es_US, es_MX). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.

What does the IMDb Plot Summary API return?

A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous).

Do I need a IMDb developer account or API key?

No. IMDb Plot Summary runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for IMDb API access separately.
