Movies Poster Search API [closed]

Imagine I have a list of movie titles, years which is constantly updating (every 24h or less) and I would like to get a Movie poster for every movie in the list.

I tried using this: http://mikefigueroa.com/blog/2011/08/get-first-google-image-search-result-with-php/

But the list is pretty big, and my IP is being masked as abusive.

Thanks

Is movie Database API free?

Does the API key cost anything? Our API is free to use as long as you attribute TMDB as the source of the data and/or images.

Are old movie posters public domain?

Almost all pre-1964 movie posters and some 1964-1977 movie posters have fallen into the public domain. However, any images of such posters are public property and have no legal rights associated with them.

You can use TheMovieDatabase's movie images API: http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/methods/Movie.getImages

Update: Their new API is probably better in terms of support. http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/#get-%2F3%2Fmovie%2F%7Bid%7D%2Fimages

Update: There is a new api available: https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started/introduction
