OMDb API Rotten Tomatoes

Question

I believe this may just be a bug in the OMDb API. But I am hoping that someone can point out the errors in my ways.

I am trying to include the Rotten Tomatoes Ratings in a output. But no matter what options I try I don't get anything.

curl http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=Iron+Man&y=&plot=short&tomatoes=true&r=json

Output:

   {
             :Title => "Iron Man",
              :Year => "2008",
             :Rated => "PG-13",

Update

In case anyone runs across this (me) again. Here's the expected output with tomatoes:

Answer 1

Well, you have to wrap your url inside the quote. Otherwise the & causing you the problem by breaking the command on that position.

curl "http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=Iron+Man&y=&plot=short&tomatoes=true&r=json"
