I need to be able to import IMDB user's movie ratings into my website. Is there any API for this purpose?

Does IMDb have an API? IMDb does officially have a public API called Search Suggestions, but it is undocumented. The Search Suggestions API has a JSON-P format that cannot be customized.
Just go to the detailed page of any movie, open the Parsers extension and click on the data you want to extract. You can select several types of data on the page, for example: title movies, duration, release date, Image URL, description. Just click Add New Field. Next Start data extraction in the Parsers extension.
Votes are set to private by default. You can elect to make your ratings public by clicking your name from the right hand of the home page and select "Your Ratings" from the drop down menu.
Limited non-commercial use of IMDb data is allowed, provided the following conditions are met: You agree to all the terms of our copyright/conditions of use statement. Please also note that IMDb reserves the right to withdraw permission to use the data at any time at our discretion.
The short answer is that there is not an API for this purpose (at the moment).
If you need to get a user's movie ratings I think that the best solution for you is to log in at IMDB, go inside the user profile page, click on rating and in the bottom of the page click on the CSV export. This should contains all the data you are looking for and in a good format. The bad news is that you have to follow these steps for each user you want to get the ratings. There is not an automatic procedure to get them.
