Eight digit IMDb IDs
Added 2019-04-08 02:32:57 +0000 UTCIt seems that IMDb has finally reached the tt9999999 limit and has introduced eight digit IDs:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10044952/
I made the mistake of setting this column to CHAR(9) "tt" + 7 digits, which was fine for many years, but now it must be changed.
I'll be applying these changes later tonight, when peak traffic has ended, it shouldn't take longer than 10-15 minutes. I'll report back here when it's complete. Thanks.

Did you get this figured out? The api key is a parameter in the Get request: ?apikey=YourAPIKeyGoesHere

2019-04-08 18:05:11 +0000 UTCWhile I'm here, I should mention that titles don't match if they contain an apostrophe and you search without. (i.e. search for "Bobs Burgers" and nothing is found, while "Bob's Burgers" works. Similarly, ampersands: searching for "Bill and Ted's Excellent" finds nothing, while "Bill & Ted's Excellent" works. Would be excellent if this wasn't the case.

2019-04-08 16:46:32 +0000 UTCFYI, about a week ago the API began returning imdbID with an extra space character at the end. Had to update some code on my end to trim it. Example: <root response="True"> <movie actors="Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary" awards="Won 3 Oscars. Another 11 wins & 18 nominations." country="USA" director="Steven Spielberg" genre="Adventure, Drama, Thriller" imdbid="tt0073195 " imdbrating="8.0" imdbvotes="504,437" language="English" metascore="87" plot="When a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach resort, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down." poster="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMmVmODY1MzEtYTMwZC00MzNhLWFkNDMtZjAwM2EwODUxZTA5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTAyODkwOQ@@._V1_SX300.jpg" rated="PG" released="20 Jun 1975" runtime="124 min" title="Jaws" type="movie" writer="Peter Benchley (screenplay), Carl Gottlieb (screenplay), Peter Benchley (based on the novel by)" year="1975"></movie> </root>
