[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1262084, member: 18896"] I've got [USER=24365]@emphatic[/USER] assistance as a Swedish user of IMDb+ in trying to communicate with Filmtipset.se if they can add IMDb tt-ID search capabilities to their system. They have all the info in their database, so it should be easy, but they might be hesitant to avoid a bunch of scraper-scripts using it and bypass any ad-system they might have. Not holding my breath therefore, but who knows, if enough Swedish users complain at FilmtipSet they might consider it, as they had it working before via 3rd party domain. Tried to bypass it via Google with a "site:filmtipset.se" advanced search, but FilmtipSet added extra HTML tags to prevent that. Another option is to build a mini scraper-system that creates a small database to link IMDb tt-ID to the FilmtipSet identifier, which can then be queries by a scraper-script, but I'm not bored enough yet to consider this (maybe around Christmas) and would also rely on FilmtipSet to have some sort of "new releases added" system to avoid having to scrape their entire site each time to look for new additions. PS: Vuego, you can strip special characters and redo a search if results come back empty on initial title. I apply many such tricks in IMDb+ to obtain better auto-matched search results. [/QUOTE]
