IMDb ID
An easy-to-use commandline tool to easily look up the IMDb ID of a movie given its name
It's built for both easy interactive use and scripting capabilities
Why does this exist?
Because certain sites support searching using these IMDb IDs and it's really useful as an unambiguous identifier
How do I install it?
You need to have Rust installed on your system, then run the following:
cargo install imdb-id
