IMDb ID

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

Usage

``` USAGE: imdb-id [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [search_term]...

ARGS: ... The title of the movie/show you're looking for

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -n, --non-interactive Disables interactive features (always picks the first result) -V, --version Prints version information
