IMDb Code

An easy-to-use commandline tool to easily look up the IMDb ID of a movie given its name

It's built for both easy interactive use and scripting capabilities

Why does this exist?

Because certain sites support searching using these IMDb IDs and it's really useful as an unambiguous identifier

How do I install it?

You need to have Rust installed on your system, then run the following:

shell cargo install imdb-id

(please note this isn't yet live on crates.io, but shall be when it's released)

Usage

imdb-id [TITLE]

...yes there are no options or anything. This is version 0.1.0, please hold 😛

Roadmap

1. Proof of concept - done as of v0.1.0!
2. CLI option parsing and non-interactive 'feeling lucky' mode with appropriate output
3. Interactive mode (v1.0.0 release)
4. Use async/tokio properly
5. ???
6. Profit
