IMDb API endpoint

IMDb name credits API

Returns a person's IMDb filmography, grouped into sections such as Actor, Director and Self. Pass exactly one of `id` or `url`. Each credit has its title, year, role and episode count. A section returns up to 100 credits, so `total` can exceed the rows returned.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

id: IMDb name ID, for example nm0634240.
url: absolute IMDb name URL, for example https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0634240/.

Notable response behavior:

data.sections groups public filmography rows by category when IMDb exposes a category heading.
Each credit row contains an IMDb title ID, title URL, optional year, optional role text, and optional episode count.
sections follows IMDb's own grouping (Actor, Producer, Director, Self, ...).
credits[].year is a range such as 2014-2019 for titles that ran across several years.
credits[].episodes is set for episodic credits, for example 8 episodes.
sections[].total is the number of credits IMDb lists for that grouping, and sections[].has_more is true when the response returns fewer. Each grouping returns up to 100 credits, so a prolific person's Self section can return fewer rows than total.
If IMDb changes its page payload, the endpoint returns an upstream parser-drift error rather than an empty or partial success.
IMDb WAF or robot-verification pages return an upstream error.
