IMDb API endpoint
Use Crawlora's IMDb title filming locations API to extract supported public IMDb data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/imdb/title/filming-locationsReturns normalized public IMDb filming-location rows for a title. Pass exactly one of `id` or `url`. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | No | IMDb title id | ||
| url | string | No | Absolute https://www.imdb.com/title/<id>/ URL | ||
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/imdb/title/filming-locations" \ -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"
Send your scraping API key in the x-api-key header. Use the console API Keys page to rotate or select the active key.
Endpoint usage is metered in credits. The plan prices, included credits, limits, and overage rates below match the active backend billing configuration.
| Plan | Price | Included credits | Daily cap | Rate limit | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 2,000 | 500 daily credits | 5/min | No overage |
| Starter | $9/mo | 20,000 | 5,000 daily credits | 15/min | $0.75/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Growth | $29/mo | 100,000 | 25,000 daily credits | 45/min | $0.45/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Pro | $79/mo | 400,000 | No daily cap | 120/min | $0.30/1,000 overage credits |
| Business | $199/mo | 1,200,000 | No daily cap | 300/min | $0.20/1,000 overage credits |
| Enterprise | $499/mo | 5,000,000 | No daily cap | 1,000/min | $0.12/1,000 overage credits |
This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- `data.type` is `filming_locations`. - `data.locations` contains public filming-location text, optional notes, and public signal counts when present. - `data.total` is the number of filming locations IMDb lists for the title. - `data.has_more` is `true` when IMDb lists more locations than the page returns. IMDb serves only the first slice of the list, so `data.locations` can be shorter than `data.total`. - A title that genuinely lists no filming locations returns an empty `data.locations` with `data.total` `0`. - IMDb WAF or robot-verification pages return an upstream error. - If IMDb changes its page payload, the endpoint returns an upstream parser-drift error rather than an empty or partial success. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "id": "tt1375666", "type": "filming_locations", "locations": [ { "location": "Paris, France", "note": "Ariadne learns to build dreams", "public_signals": 2 } ], "total": 12, "has_more": true, "public_page_derived": true } } ```
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
