I recently found a movie organizer application which fetches its data from the IMDB database?
Does IMDB provide an API for this, or any third party APIs available?
unfortunately, it will be closed down soon. Do you know how does it work?

A:
IMDB themselves seem to distribute data, but only in text files:
http://www.imdb.com/interfaces
there are several APIs around this that you can Google. Screen scraping is explicitly forbidden. A official API seems to be in the works, but has been that for years already.

Yes, but not for free.
...annual fees ranging from $15,000 to higher depending on the audience for the data and which data are being licensed.
