I haven't checked the code, but if you are actually searching and parsing IMDB.com then you are violating IMDB's user agreements. There are certain titles that are not available for you to use. However.. IMDB allows you to download and use most of it's contents: http://www.imdb.com/interfaces Instead of downloading and parsing available data and reinventing the wheel, I would also recommend using 3rd party free APIs…

It's a wrapper on omdb module, but in this `imdb-search` module developer can use es6 promises to search and get result. Result list of search have an id field as index, if we pass any of id to get method we can get all info about movie.(No need to use imdb specific long id on get movie)

This is just a very thin and worthless wrapper around https://github.com/misterhat/omdb

This module use Javascript ES6 Promises for search on movies and get movie with just use a simple generated id with this module for each movie on list of movies on result of search, also it's keep last result of get method.(last movie)
