My Question, How can i get the data about the Movies from different languages For example: www.imdb.com has a huge database collection. Is there any web crwaling methodology where we can get it? Or dirty method of Complete Data entry work?开发者_高级运维
The legal approach is to subscribe to IMDB's web services, which sound pretty comprehensive but cost $15,000 and up.
Another possible datasource that looks free is the Netflix API.
I'm not going to give you any advice about screen-scraping, both because it will make your life miserable, and because it's almost certainly a violation of copyright laws.
Blockbuster's website has some RSS feeds you can scrape, which will contain links to data pages that may or may not be easily scraped as well.
