I'm supporting this project for 5 years, and also was active, but my pledge was removed and my API key blocked. Renew my pledge, now I'm waiting for the new key, one hour gone and still nothing.

Owen Ashurst

I've been supporting this project for years.

Brian Fritz

End of year house cleaning, about 600+ inactive pledges were removed. The block method is only used to trigger the WebHooks and then each one is unblocked.

Justin Blanchette

Hey why was my pledge removed?

Vladan Profirovic

Cool!

Not sure how I got it working. I did enable allow_url_fopen from my cpanel. But at first it didn't work. Later with Brian's suggestion to echo the fopen status it did show as enabled, and at that same time everything started working. Almost as if my php.ini stetting didn't take in that first few hours I was working on my website. But later did update.

Hi Brian, I can't access with file_get_contents, allow_url_fopen is enable , php give error just when use file_get_contents with omdbapi.com, the function work fine with other url !!! can you help me please

Free Movies Online

Hi, can you tell me how do you fix this problem, I have the some :(

Aimee Travis

cannot wait

Brian Fritz

You might want to try this: ?php echo ini_get('allow_url_fopen') ? "Enabled" : "Disabled";

3D Nirvana

Brian, let me know if I can access with file_get_contents per my earlier question. I will re-pledge if I can get this to work. Thanks

Cody

Brian, I see that you have opened up the free API. However, I'm happy to continue with my support for the great work you are doing ! I do see you mention 'The Poster API is only available to patrons.' is that now for all tiers or still Standard+. Thanks.

3D Nirvana

can I access with $data = file_get_contents('<a href="http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=tt3896198&apikey=xxxxxxxx');" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=tt3896198&apikey=xxxxxxxx');</a> ? it is coming up blank. (allow_url_fopen?)

I would be curious what your setup is. I have never had an issue with the API and I always recievie results within 1,000 ms.

Mazikeen

If you think it's stupid then why don't you just make your own API and use your own server with your $10? LOL

Brian Fritz

Have you ever considered the issue might be on your end? What language/framework are you using? The .NET framework has many limitations with concurrent connections and if you aren't closing them correctly you will see a lot of timeout issues: <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/managing-connections" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/managing-connections</a>

Steven Parsons

Pay $10 for a "private server with unlimited requests" this is true, but you will have to sit there and get them 20-200 movies at a time. kinda stupid really considering what youre paying for.

Steven Parsons

Im slowly realizing this API is, im guessing, over worked, since there are times the host will crash without getting a single result. cannot believe i paid $10 for this scam...

Steven Parsons

Using HTTP, i've tried added a 60 second pause after every 1000 requests too, to check if it was as flooding issue, but that just seemed to cause the error to occur more often. Going to try opening a new connection every 1000 requests next and see if that makes a difference. I'll let you know if i find a solution but if you have any other ideas please let me know, thanks again!

Brian Fritz

Are you using HTTPS? If so there is an open bug about it here: <a href="https://github.com/omdbapi/OMDb-API/issues/18" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/omdbapi/OMDb-API/issues/18</a>

Steven Parsons

Using this API for a class project, firstly thanks for building it and making it so easy to use. I am however getting a Code 524 timeout error, some research has shown its something to do with requests to cloudflare (im guessing the host platform?) Anyone else getting this error and any known fixes?

Hi Brian, Just become a patron today, how long till I get my API key? I have used the API (free version) in the past and it compliments my existing apps, keep uo the great work.

Paulo Pimentel

Hey Brian, first of all thanks for creating this API. I have a question for you, could you add a Language option for the API? I'm thinking of having my website with Portuguese and English languages but i can't find any better API to use. Thanks in advance, a permanent Patreon.

Brian Fritz

David, your profile says "This patron isn’t supporting any creators at the moment."

László Péter Varga

my one neither

Casey S Brinegar

yeah mines not working either

Brian Fritz

David, there is a weird caching issue that may be causing that, could you try it in an "incognito window" (assuming you have Chrome).

Joe Manzo

Brian, I submitted my pledge today. It states it will start collecting on Nov 1st. Please let me know if there is any option to start in October, I do not mind paying for a full month to gain access now. Thanks

Brian Fritz

Go here to get one: <a href="http://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx</a>

Maciej Szczerbowski

Hello Brian, i became an donator and patreon, but still doesn't have mine API key - did You send it to me?

Peter

Brian, I subscribed when I realised my Couchpotato couldn't connect to the API anymore. However I can't actually enter an API key into the software, not your fault , but without that my reason for subscribing isn't there. It's a buck a month or whatever so I'm going to let it run to support you anyway...

Barış Gürenç

Hi Brian, Is there any way to get all movies in a category? for exmp. Sci-Fi ?

Sunny Master

how to get key? i didnt recive it, but im a patron

Rita Xia

Hi Brian, I found when I use Basic plan, I usually get a 524: A timeout occurred, would this situation disappear when I upgrade my plan to Pro? Or do you have any another suggestions? Thanks

Tenzin Singhay Bhotia

where do we get the key from

Brian Fritz

Hey Oleg, I just tested your key and it seems to be working.

Oleg Markoff

I signed in gave a dollar - still my key invalid. I do not mind to support, but i need to finish application ;(

Jack steiner

Just personal use and only a small number of requests per day. Will continue to support...

Blair Gemmer

Yeah I don't mind supporting you with my buck a month! You've written a great API. I'd love to help it become even better too!

Erik Wirtz

Strictly personal but a buck a month is fine.

Voxmachina

I think you should not depend on that goal, the support, I mean, either you have to decide if you have a business or if you are contributing with something for the community. I think you're on the business path, and on the business path you need to define your strategies just like any other business. If you have a freemium package that's great intro level for potential new clients, if you not then I guess it depends on the business model you'll have to define ;). Anyway, supporter here, great work, keep it up.

Aaron Watters

I support at $10 and would continue to do so for a private server but I still seem to be rate limited and never received a response to the email I sent you about it.

Heizo Schulze

As long as my app Movie Pulse is alive I plan to continue. I appreciate OMDb. Who is curious: <a href="http://movie-pulse.com." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://movie-pulse.com.</a>

Anis Abdellaoui

Great api good job keep it on

Kenneth Luplau-Brøgger

It's $5 dollars in my case. I'm planning on using it, but currently isn't. I have been supporting ever since I found it tho. Great API.

Clark Christensen

Personal use for me. A buck a month is OK. Happy to have an easy to use, no hassle API.

Viktar Karpach

Just one dollar a month for now, since my site doesn't generate much revenue.

Mazikeen

Perhaps you should make a big difference between normal users & patreon users, How bout making free registered users with limited features, like permanent api key, limited & low requests per day. Then with patreon users give them better features like ability to change their api keys, higher requests per day and so on. Pretty sure more people would still stay as patron this way rather than giving both regular & patron users same features. I'll be staying as patron of this project anyways. Keep it up!

Robert LeMay

Great API and Great info.Worth every penny I pay.

Brent Anderson

We're in!

Byron Whitlock

I will continue to support for years, but I'd never have tried this service if it had cost something. Scraping is pretty easy to do these days. You should consider that over time you may lose subscribers.

HDVinnie

For as long as I use OMDB I will support it

Jeroen Somhorst

Same here. As long as my app is used on <a href="https://gathering.tweakers.net" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://gathering.tweakers.net</a> I will be a supporter.

Jeesun Kim

As long as my app has users, I will support OMDB :).

Rohn

Just one dollar a month for now. It is used in a free and open source project.

Viktor Andersen

Just one dollar a month now. If I'm making a profit with an app I'll increase. Keep on the great work, Brian.

Mauritz N

This project is amazing and worth every single cent, keep up the amazing work :)

adolf campos

please update regularly the tv shows episodes!!

envato user717

dont drop this,

William Clark

$1/month is a no-brainer to support a project this great. I'm in!

Zachary Reece

I'm currently developing an app that uses this project so I will be a Patron for the next few years regardless. I'm

Danielle Deibler

I would love if there was a bulk API query. We used to get the CSV prior to the issues with you releasing that way. Still supporting the project (either way). I am using it for my app and I appreciate the amount of work it takes to maintain something like this.

InzeNL

I would like to add, at the moment, I am also not using the API ;)

Bartolome Soriano

I will continue to support this project.

CineTrak

As someone who has built an app that takes advantage of OMDB, I believe it would be unfair to not support the project seeing how much work is required in the backend. I would definitely support the project.

InzeNL

Currently don't have too much money myself, so might cancel it. However, when I have a stable income, I would definitely subscribe again

hakan robs

If response time quality continues as present, i would definitely support you :)

Aaron Kuchma

I registered a long time ago so I could download the database and host it on a local server so that queries would never time out or get 504s. At some point, downloads went away. I have just been ignoring the notifications because its such a small expense its not worth my time to cancel it.
