With this service you can match IMDb IDs to their corresponding entries, load connected movie, TV and actor data from IMDb and compare it with Wikidata.
This .NET implementation of an OpenRefine reconciliation service takes IMDb IDs and reconciles them to their IMDb entry. The Reconciliation Service API provides the Service Metadata, returns the title or name and the url, so that reconciled IMDb IDs are clickable links. Further it is possible to extend the data by using the JSON-LD data of IMDb with the Data Extension API. The Preview API, Property Proposal API and Suggest API are also implemented.
