is there any web service to give me list of movies from IMDb?

android, imdb, listview, web-services

Solution

Here is a very interesting discussion on IMDB web apis. You can hit them to get results

AND

Check this - exactly what you need http://www.omdbapi.com/

Try this omdbapi.com/?t=ca&y=2012&r=XML in browser . Seems either id or title is required. You can iterate on title words from aa to zz.

Since title is required attribute, and minimum requirement is 2 characters in title, you can get all movies if you queried for title between aa and zz, assuming there are no digits and keeping all other params(year=2012) constant. These XML result sets can be appended using simple queries to get all 2012 movies

Problem

I need a web service to get all the movies of a particular year which will be passed as parameter to service. I need it for practice and populate list of movies in android listview. Please can anyone suggest to me which web service i need to work on? Sorry if this sounds elementary as I am new to web services and still learning how to consume them!
