I wanted to ask this too. Did you scrape it or did it via some api? Anyway, cool project, wish you all the best with it.


illegally scraped,IMDb doesn't have API for this and automated scraping OP done is against their TOS, not mentioning without consent of users, for instance stole 14 years worth of my posts


He stole them? You mean they are gone now? Because the closest I can imagine happening is an unlicensed reproduction of your content, your credentials included. ... Like any archive service would do it.


I take it then, when you posted these 14 years of comments, you didn't want them available to the public to, I don't know, read?! Thank goodness IMDB deleted them all before we happened across them by accident & violated your privacy.
