Is there an IMDB API to retrieve character information ? Assuming I know the exact name of the character ?
There are two public, undocumented api’s that may change at any time since they are undocumented and unsupported
One of them gives you some json with some relevant information for an actor: http://www.imdb.com/xml/find?json=1&nr=1&nm=on&q={NAME+OF+ACTOR}
As an example: http://www.imdb.com/xml/find?json=1&nr=1&nm=on&q=jessica+simpson
