Mark S. asked ... > > Is the IMDB web structure consistent enough to allow web scraping? >
Short answer: yes. The page to be scraped in not actually the main landing page for a film title. Its a more detailed sub-page you need scrape. The layout is consistent and parsing the HTML is enough. Long answer. Its not exactly intuitive. But those are more to do with the complexity of movies than complexity of IMDB data per se, which is well designed. (Issues like having more than one director; selecting the top 5 main actors rather than the zillions in the full cast.)
