Unofficial IMDb Movie / Series Information.

FREE UnOfficial Movie / Series Search API, without APIKeys

Strengths

Random Movie and Series Quotes.

Django REST Framework API for random movie/series quotes, with show-based filtering and optional “censored” mode.

Strengths

Prototyping or a tutorial? Pick the one that needs no API key (both qualify).
Calling from a web page? You need CORS. Otherwise route requests through your own server or a serverless function.
Going to production? Favour HTTPS, a strong uptime record and a provider with clear rate limits and terms. Check each API's docs before you commit.
Still unsure? Both are free to try: send one request to each and compare the data you get back.
