I'm making a personal film manager/database app and I want to implement a feature that displays the poster images of a film. I found this thread which displays an image given the image url.
I found that I can get the poster url by using this site: http://www.omdbapi.com/
The thing is I'd have to enter the film title name on the site's page or just manually create the resulting url by editing the last part (ex1: http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=&t=bold+native, ex2: http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=&t=The+Hobbit%3A+An+Unexpected+Journey), which may not always yield the best results due to the occasional unique titles, but that's not my worry since I'm not creating a professional application.
Then I guess I'd have to iterate through the text (see hyperlink for example) to grab the Poster URL, of which I can finally pass in to retrieve the image.
Does anyone know a way of doing this? I don't really know if its possible to enter in a url and go thru its text to find the Poster image url.
