I was doing an exercise last week where I was getting json results rom the imdb api by searching for a title, such as adding 'batman' to the url would return movies with batman in the title, page 1 of # with pagination.
The url was something like: https://www.imdb.api/search=batman&page=2
I was using axios.get(url) to get the results, no api key needed, but I seem to have lost the api url I was using in my get request, and have been searching online for how to use the imdb api in this way again but wasnt able to find a working example.
So my question is, what is the api title search url for imdb such that I can make a get request (or put it in my browser) and see the json text results?
Thanks
First, as far as I know, and remember, you do need an API_KEY to use the IMDB API.
The IMDB API documentation can be found here.
You can also use The Movie DB (TMDB) API. The API documentation you can find here. For TMDB you will also need an API_KEY.

I am exploring how to search and filter tweets using the Twitter API version 2 which as of this writing has been newly released. The documentation for this particular endpoint is available here.
I tried successfully searching for the following query:
https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/recent?query=puppy
As I needed to be more specific, I checked out v1.1 docs for rules and filtering and tried to look for tweets containing puppy images (filter:image) and no retweets (-filter:retweets) but I could not get the query in v2 (preferably) or v1.1 working with postman even though I tried percent-encoding for the special characters.
It is also not clear to me from the documentation (though mentioned in the docs) how to specify a certain language like English (lang=english) and a certain distance in the query "37.781157,-122.398720,1mi"
Does somebody know how to pass it into the query?
For language filter you can refer the post
https://community.postman.com/t/define-the-language-of-tweets/20643
But I am not sure about the image filter. But in recent times a developer sean.keegan from Postman is talking more about twitter API's in Postman. Please do check out https://community.postman.com/search?q=twitter and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySbLo13Fk-c
I hope these will be helpful for you!!
I am trying to find a way to get statistic for the URL from Pinterest API.
Like facebook graph API: URL Object
Or linked in countserv endpoint:
https://www.linkedin.com/countserv/count/share?format=json&url=https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/breaking-5-major-boolean-syntax-changes-irina-shamaeva
I know it is possible because this site is returning the number of pins for given url:
https://www.sharedcount.com/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F
Does anyone know how to get these data from Pinterest API?
There is no officially supported way to do this with the developer API. That said, the widgets use this for the count bubbles using this API
https://widgets.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?url=<url>.
I wouldn't depend on it for anything important tho since it is unsupported and can change/be removed at any time.
You can get the number of pins calling this url
http://api.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?callback=&url=http://stylehatch.co
It will return an object like this:
({"count": 0, "url": "http://stylehatch.co"})
I'm experimenting with the Wikipedia API and was trying to get the full urls for all images on a particular page, in this example Google's main page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google).
I found the page id through the use of another API and then attempted to use this information in the following API to get the full urls of all images on that page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&pageids=1092923&generator=images&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url|dimensions|mime&format=xml
I get some of the page images from this but cannot understand why I am not getting all - specifically the logo which is what I was most interested in. Apologies I am aware that there are similar questions which have been asked but I was not able to find one which would assist me here.
The API does not give you all results at once, it defaults to 10 results. You see in the beginning answer that you have a value for the parameter gimcontinue. If you use it like this you get more images: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&pageids=1092923&generator=images&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url|dimensions|mime&format=xml&gimcontinue=1092923|Google_bike.jpg
Alternatively, you can ask for more images at once using gimlimit like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&pageids=1092923&generator=images&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url|dimensions|mime&format=xml&gimlimit=500
I'm currently using the streaming API to track tweets with a specific hashtag but is it possible to filter them even more to only include tweets with links? I tried adding "filter:links" like in the search api but it didn't return anything even though when I search "#myhashtag filter:links" in the twitter website it does return new tweets.
Thanks in advance.
DataSift allows this. You can search on the domain, URL, title or Retweet count of links, as well as searching the text content of Tweets for keywords or #hashtags.
Take a look at the DataSift Documentation or DataSift Tech Blog for more info
How can i use Google search api to get like on the google engine, title of website,a short description and URL. Is it possible?
I tried the api but it gives me only some information that doesn`t have a url or title to a website.
Using the Google shopping api, you can retrieve the title, short description and url. I've achieved this in a c# application where it returns a json file from the url below and parse over it.
You need a apiId to start with.
Using this url you can add search parameters after the q, in this example just searching for digital camera.
https://www.googleapis.com/shopping/search/v1/public/products?key=key&country=US&q=digital+camera
See http://code.google.com/apis/shopping/search/v1/getting_started.html
for more details
I'm not sure that I have enough information, but I find the Google Custom Search API reference page has the reference JSON/ATOM examples:
https://code.google.com/apis/customsearch/v1/reference.html
This query will get you started:
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key={YOURAPIKEY}&cx={cx?}&cref={cref?}&q=st%20olaf
Does this get you started?
Take care!
