Search on imdb and get movie info in Node.js (opens in new tab)

> Instead of downloading and parsing available data

This is what goim does: https://github.com/BurntSushi/goim

There are maybe one or two other tools that can do this, but they are insufficient for $reasons or were too slow for my taste. There is a brief comparison toward the bottom of goim's README.

I update goim in a cronjob every Saturday morning (new IMDb data is updated weekly on Friday, IIRC). It's been humming along without incident for a few years now. :-)

I've used and enjoyed themoviedb in the past.

It's a wrapper on omdb module, but in this `imdb-search` module developer can use es6 promises to search and get result. Result list of search have an id field as index, if we pass any of id to get method we can get all info about movie.(No need to use imdb specific long id on get movie)

It correctly states to be a wrapper for this omdb package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/omdb Which in turn uses the omdb API.

It's using OMDB.js:

const omdb = require('omdb');

This module use Javascript ES6 Promises for search on movies and get movie with just use a simple generated id with this module for each movie on list of movies on result of search, also it's keep last result of get method.(last movie)
