README

PHP library for retrieving film and TV information from IMDb.
This library uses GraphQL API from imdb to get the data.
Thanks to @tBoothman for his groundwork to make this possible!

imdbGraphQLPHP is NOT a fork, it is based on imdbphp
Retrieve all information from IMDb including films, TV series, TV episodes, people and coming soon releases.
Search for titles on IMDb.
Download film posters, actor, recommendations, foto's and episode images.
The results can be localized and cached.
Localization only seems to effect title, photo, plotoutline and recommendations (titles only). Check wiki homepage to enable.
There is a full list of all methods, descriptions and outputs in the wiki. https://github.com/duck7000/imdbGraphQLPHP/wiki
