    Hi,

    I have created a database of movies and series, the site has data from several sources, the data is formatted and organized as it should be. Data is downloaded on a daily basis, some data is downloaded even several times a day.

    We currently have a free API package of 1000 requests per month.

    The plan is to create open source scripts (on our GitHub) that will update data on JellyFin, Plex, automatically download movies as part of Radarr and Sonarr, and similar things.

    If you have any suggestions or criticism, feel free to write here!

    how does it compare to IMDB and TMDB

      Hi, compared to IMDb, we only have API access, which they don't have, more precisely, it's closed. As for TMDB, we have more information and a better API structure than them. Also, soon we plan to insert information from other sites (especially ratings and streaming availability), which will further differentiate us from the others.

      Also, we have a plan soon to open source some of our tools which will use PMDb API, which will help JellyFin, Radarr, and Sonarr users to correct information for their library and also automate movie downloading.

        This may probably be off topic a bit for your project but you in a good place to do this You could add an AI model that does the following things

        - I paste a picture of a scene and it can tell me which movie it is from

        - I paste a picture of a few actors/actresses from any movie and it can tell me exactly who that actor/actress is

        - I don't think any existing API does this

          Good idea, we will consider implementing these. Thanks!
