DVDpedia: add search for TCM.com?

Post by Ronin »

I have found that Turner Classic Movies frequently has information for searches that are "misses" with DVDpedia searching Amazon.com and others. Is it possible to add TCM as an additional search field?

Thanks

Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately TCM does not have an API for computers to communicate with it and request information. We are trying to limit new plug-ins to those sites with APIs as it makes it easier to maintain the plug-in and more reliable (like the Amazon sites) as well as being a sanctioned way of retrieving data.

Connor,

Thanks for the explanation. It is too bad that TCM does not provide the APIs, though.

Cheers

Thank you for the information, we will still write to them and ask if there are any plans for an API or for access. But it's never promising with large corporation.
