IMDb API endpoint

IMDb title connections API

Returns a bounded slice of a title's public connections: other titles it references or is referenced by, such as remakes, spin-offs, "featured in" clips, and "edited into" compilations. `category` is upstream-supplied free text, not a closed enum. IMDb's connections list can run to hundreds or thousands of rows, so `total` can exceed the returned rows and `has_more` reports that condition. Limit defaults to 50 and clamps to 250. Pass exactly one of `id` or `url`.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

id: IMDb title ID, for example tt0111161.
url: absolute IMDb title URL, for example https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/.
limit: rows to return. Defaults to 50; maximum 250.

Notable response behavior:

connections[].category is upstream-supplied free text (for example Featured in, Referenced in, Spoofed in, Edited into), not a closed enum — there is no filter parameter for it.
connections[].note is an optional editorial note IMDb attaches to some rows; many rows have none.
connections[].associated_title.title_type and .year are included when IMDb supplies them.
IMDb's connections list can run to hundreds or thousands of rows for a popular title. total is the upstream count and has_more is true whenever the returned slice is shorter than total.
A well-formed but unresolvable title ID returns a not-found error.
A real title with genuinely zero connections returns 200 with an empty connections list.
If IMDb changes the shape of this data, the endpoint fails closed with an upstream parser-drift error.
