Would you stay a patron?
Added 2017-09-05 18:31:23 +0000 UTCWith the free registration process coming to completion, I'm curious how many current patrons will continue to support this project? I know it will take a hit (the first week of every month I lose 50-100 patrons and it slowly builds back up) I'm just putting this poll out there to plan my finances better.

I'm supporting this project for 5 years, and also was active, but my pledge was removed and my API key blocked. Renew my pledge, now I'm waiting for the new key, one hour gone and still nothing.

2022-01-08 13:21:24 +0000 UTCEnd of year house cleaning, about 600+ inactive pledges were removed. The block method is only used to trigger the WebHooks and then each one is unblocked.

2017-12-21 02:28:15 +0000 UTCNot sure how I got it working. I did enable allow_url_fopen from my cpanel. But at first it didn't work. Later with Brian's suggestion to echo the fopen status it did show as enabled, and at that same time everything started working. Almost as if my php.ini stetting didn't take in that first few hours I was working on my website. But later did update.

2017-12-03 18:36:51 +0000 UTCcannot wait
Aimee Travis
2017-11-28 05:03:27 +0000 UTCYou might want to try this: ?php echo ini_get('allow_url_fopen') ? "Enabled" : "Disabled";
Brian Fritz
2017-11-09 01:35:46 +0000 UTCBrian, let me know if I can access with file_get_contents per my earlier question. I will re-pledge if I can get this to work. Thanks
3D Nirvana
2017-11-09 01:22:10 +0000 UTCBrian, I see that you have opened up the free API. However, I'm happy to continue with my support for the great work you are doing ! I do see you mention 'The Poster API is only available to patrons.' is that now for all tiers or still Standard+. Thanks.
Cody
2017-11-04 15:25:54 +0000 UTCcan I access with $data = file_get_contents('<a href="http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=tt3896198&apikey=xxxxxxxx');" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=tt3896198&apikey=xxxxxxxx');</a> ? it is coming up blank. (allow_url_fopen?)
3D Nirvana
2017-11-03 19:48:43 +0000 UTCI would be curious what your setup is. I have never had an issue with the API and I always recievie results within 1,000 ms.
Box Office Buz
2017-11-02 16:38:32 +0000 UTCIf you think it's stupid then why don't you just make your own API and use your own server with your $10? LOL
Mazikeen
2017-11-01 14:08:24 +0000 UTCHave you ever considered the issue might be on your end? What language/framework are you using? The .NET framework has many limitations with concurrent connections and if you aren't closing them correctly you will see a lot of timeout issues: <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/managing-connections" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/managing-connections</a>
Brian Fritz
2017-10-31 14:59:26 +0000 UTCPay $10 for a "private server with unlimited requests" this is true, but you will have to sit there and get them 20-200 movies at a time. kinda stupid really considering what youre paying for.
Steven Parsons
2017-10-31 09:30:28 +0000 UTCIm slowly realizing this API is, im guessing, over worked, since there are times the host will crash without getting a single result. cannot believe i paid $10 for this scam...
Steven Parsons
2017-10-31 09:25:13 +0000 UTCUsing HTTP, i've tried added a 60 second pause after every 1000 requests too, to check if it was as flooding issue, but that just seemed to cause the error to occur more often. Going to try opening a new connection every 1000 requests next and see if that makes a difference. I'll let you know if i find a solution but if you have any other ideas please let me know, thanks again!
Steven Parsons
2017-10-31 04:37:53 +0000 UTCAre you using HTTPS? If so there is an open bug about it here: <a href="https://github.com/omdbapi/OMDb-API/issues/18" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/omdbapi/OMDb-API/issues/18</a>
Brian Fritz
2017-10-31 04:25:27 +0000 UTCUsing this API for a class project, firstly thanks for building it and making it so easy to use. I am however getting a Code 524 timeout error, some research has shown its something to do with requests to cloudflare (im guessing the host platform?) Anyone else getting this error and any known fixes?
Steven Parsons

2017-10-30 18:11:12 +0000 UTCHi Brian, Just become a patron today, how long till I get my API key? I have used the API (free version) in the past and it compliments my existing apps, keep uo the great work.
Nick Lord
2017-10-30 18:10:21 +0000 UTCHey Brian, first of all thanks for creating this API. I have a question for you, could you add a Language option for the API? I'm thinking of having my website with Portuguese and English languages but i can't find any better API to use. Thanks in advance, a permanent Patreon.
Paulo Pimentel
2017-10-29 12:13:05 +0000 UTCDavid, your profile says "This patron isn’t supporting any creators at the moment."

2017-10-27 19:55:01 +0000 UTCyeah mines not working either
Casey S Brinegar
2017-10-27 19:51:47 +0000 UTCDavid, there is a weird caching issue that may be causing that, could you try it in an "incognito window" (assuming you have Chrome).
Brian Fritz
2017-10-27 16:21:46 +0000 UTCBrian, I submitted my pledge today. It states it will start collecting on Nov 1st. Please let me know if there is any option to start in October, I do not mind paying for a full month to gain access now. Thanks
Joe Manzo
2017-10-24 12:39:15 +0000 UTCGo here to get one: <a href="http://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx</a>
Brian Fritz
2017-10-23 16:48:35 +0000 UTCHello Brian, i became an donator and patreon, but still doesn't have mine API key - did You send it to me?
Maciej Szczerbowski
2017-10-23 09:37:53 +0000 UTCBrian, I subscribed when I realised my Couchpotato couldn't connect to the API anymore. However I can't actually enter an API key into the software, not your fault , but without that my reason for subscribing isn't there. It's a buck a month or whatever so I'm going to let it run to support you anyway...
Peter
2017-10-20 21:22:29 +0000 UTCHi Brian, Is there any way to get all movies in a category? for exmp. Sci-Fi ?

Sunny Master
2017-10-11 21:57:01 +0000 UTCHi Brian, I found when I use Basic plan, I usually get a 524: A timeout occurred, would this situation disappear when I upgrade my plan to Pro? Or do you have any another suggestions? Thanks

Tenzin Singhay Bhotia
2017-10-07 06:12:41 +0000 UTCHey Oleg, I just tested your key and it seems to be working.
Brian Fritz
2017-10-02 23:12:07 +0000 UTCI signed in gave a dollar - still my key invalid. I do not mind to support, but i need to finish application ;(
Oleg Markoff
2017-10-02 22:47:08 +0000 UTCJust personal use and only a small number of requests per day. Will continue to support...
Jack steiner
2017-09-20 20:14:23 +0000 UTCYeah I don't mind supporting you with my buck a month! You've written a great API. I'd love to help it become even better too!
Blair Gemmer
2017-09-12 20:39:22 +0000 UTCStrictly personal but a buck a month is fine.
Erik Wirtz
2017-09-07 20:44:38 +0000 UTCI think you should not depend on that goal, the support, I mean, either you have to decide if you have a business or if you are contributing with something for the community. I think you're on the business path, and on the business path you need to define your strategies just like any other business. If you have a freemium package that's great intro level for potential new clients, if you not then I guess it depends on the business model you'll have to define ;). Anyway, supporter here, great work, keep it up.
Voxmachina
2017-09-06 09:02:32 +0000 UTCI support at $10 and would continue to do so for a private server but I still seem to be rate limited and never received a response to the email I sent you about it.

Anis Abdellaoui
2017-09-06 05:35:03 +0000 UTCIt's $5 dollars in my case. I'm planning on using it, but currently isn't. I have been supporting ever since I found it tho. Great API.
Kenneth Luplau-Brøgger
2017-09-06 04:37:04 +0000 UTCPersonal use for me. A buck a month is OK. Happy to have an easy to use, no hassle API.
Clark Christensen
2017-09-06 04:19:35 +0000 UTCJust one dollar a month for now, since my site doesn't generate much revenue.
Viktar Karpach
2017-09-06 02:38:10 +0000 UTCPerhaps you should make a big difference between normal users & patreon users, How bout making free registered users with limited features, like permanent api key, limited & low requests per day. Then with patreon users give them better features like ability to change their api keys, higher requests per day and so on. Pretty sure more people would still stay as patron this way rather than giving both regular & patron users same features. I'll be staying as patron of this project anyways. Keep it up!
Mazikeen
2017-09-06 02:09:44 +0000 UTCGreat API and Great info.Worth every penny I pay.

Brent Anderson
2017-09-05 22:55:47 +0000 UTCI will continue to support for years, but I'd never have tried this service if it had cost something. Scraping is pretty easy to do these days. You should consider that over time you may lose subscribers.
Byron Whitlock
2017-09-05 21:17:46 +0000 UTCFor as long as I use OMDB I will support it

Jeesun Kim
2017-09-05 19:14:41 +0000 UTCJust one dollar a month for now. It is used in a free and open source project.
Rohn
2017-09-05 19:07:26 +0000 UTCJust one dollar a month now. If I'm making a profit with an app I'll increase. Keep on the great work, Brian.

Zachary Reece
2017-09-05 18:41:16 +0000 UTCI would love if there was a bulk API query. We used to get the CSV prior to the issues with you releasing that way. Still supporting the project (either way). I am using it for my app and I appreciate the amount of work it takes to maintain something like this.
Danielle Deibler
2017-09-05 18:39:09 +0000 UTCI would like to add, at the moment, I am also not using the API ;)

2017-09-05 18:38:25 +0000 UTCI will continue to support this project.
Bartolome Soriano
2017-09-05 18:38:11 +0000 UTCAs someone who has built an app that takes advantage of OMDB, I believe it would be unfair to not support the project seeing how much work is required in the backend. I would definitely support the project.
CineTrak
2017-09-05 18:37:50 +0000 UTCCurrently don't have too much money myself, so might cancel it. However, when I have a stable income, I would definitely subscribe again
InzeNL
2017-09-05 18:36:19 +0000 UTCIf response time quality continues as present, i would definitely support you :)
hakan robs
2017-09-05 18:35:52 +0000 UTCI registered a long time ago so I could download the database and host it on a local server so that queries would never time out or get 504s. At some point, downloads went away. I have just been ignoring the notifications because its such a small expense its not worth my time to cancel it.
Aaron Kuchma
2017-09-05 18:35:26 +0000 UTCHow about an option to pay in advance for longer periods of time? I just hate the tiny recurring payments.
