Last week I applied for an api_key for themoviedb.com for the Batch Metadata Tools project, and it was granted. Then within a couple of hours, I had the full integration with themoviedb.com complete.
Their api is really simple. It mainly consists of two commands; Search and GetInfo. The search takes a single search argument and returns a list of matches, and the get info command will return back the complete movie information for a given match. Simple and easy.
Batch Metadata Tools is now at version 1.11, and you can red more about how to use this new provider in the project wiki.
About Batch Metadata Tools
The Batch Metadata Tools project is a small java project that provide movie information and cover art for movie files. Currently it's used within the SageTV community for fetching movie information when you import a large collection of movies. Although it is currently used for SageTV, it supports a pluggable output provider, so that it could be used to read/write other formats.
Currently the Batch Metadata Tools has search providers for IMDB, DVDProfiler, and themoviedb.com.
