[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 786644, member: 18896"] [b]Re: IMDb+ Scraper (Fix English, Rename+Group, RottenTomatoes, and more) v3.2.4[/b] Eventhough I could use the API output without a problem, it is not possible for me to interact with the API the way the scraper scripts work. This is why the existing MovieMeter scraper that MovingPictures uses is not an XML based scraper like IMDb+, but a C# based one with more options.
