Is there anyone who understands and could help me understand how to use the IMDb API?
I know that one has to sign up to RapidAPI and that one can download 1000 files per month (I think it is). But I have no idea how to use the API or gather the info that I require from the database, which is just the basics, such as, Director, Actors, Genre, Year. Rating etc
I have no idea how to use API's properly (which doesn't help), but any help would be appreciated.
I will also post this thread in the API section
Thanks

There's usually documentation provided on what all the endpoints are, what their parameters are, and what you should receive back.
HTTP APIs are generally fairly simple in concept; you just load up a URL with a specific set of parameters, and parse the page you get back for a response.
It's all the details that make things complex.
You might be able to just use HTTPGET$() to make simple requests, although if you're required to authenticate, you might have to go to something a bit more complex, like Windows' built-in HTTP client(WinHTTP).
