It's been months; is this getting addressed at all, or are we just forgoing IMDB now...?

This was my main method of automatically grabbing new content, but it's been entirely broken since June.

I see this comment on GitHub, and I'm guessing it's probably spot on:

I don't see IMDb "fixing" this issue anytime soon to be honest; they probably caught on that a metric shitload of users are scraping their IMDb watchlists from Sonarr & Radarr, generating heaps of traffic that IMDb has to pay for.

That sucks, but it's probably not high on Amazon's priority list of API issues to fix.

The process to export a list has changed, but it still works. You can still export an imdb list as a csv file (excerpt below) without an imdb account, It's just done in multiple steps now. Sonarr/Radarr need to update to accommodate this change.

Is IMDb part of Amazon, or are they just using their API and/or servers?

[–] jasep@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Amazon owns IMDb. Wikipedia says "Since 1998, it has been owned and operated by IMDb.com, Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon."
