Right now, Flutter is using OMDb API. It works most of the times, but we need something better.

  • Better search results even if provided year is incorrect.
  • Able to find movies based on translated titles.
  • Give rotten tomatoes ratings also.

Imdb offers their exported database for non-commercial usage https://www.imdb.com/interfaces/ which are updated daily.

Proposal: Make a backend server system for ratings as the database has translated titles.

After looking into this, TMDb and TVDb are not a good fit. I have started working on my own server which will feed imdb ratings.
