Description

• This project provides you with a specialized search with all the details you need about a movie.

• We don’t have a specialized site which gives you all the details such as description, images , trailers , reviews, plot summaries etc. at one place.

• If you enter a movie to be searched then you get all the details about the movie i.e. its description, reviews, trailers etc. Also if the movie is new you get the locations of all the theatres near to your location which have the movie running in it.

Description

• If the movie is relatively old then you get all the geographical locations near to you where you can rent the movie e.g. RedBox locations, blockbuster locations etc. Also the plot summaries of the movies is provided.

• To get all these details we scrape different sites search as Bing, Imdb, Msn, Redbox, Blockbuster and YouTube using Perl to get the required details.

List Of Software Used

• Perl• JSON• HTML, JavaScript,CSS• Apache Tomcat

Geo IP Matching

• To do this part we used the free services provided from www.Ip2location.com which gives the zip code of your location.

• This is limited to 20 queries/day

What we planned Vs What we achieved

• We planned to give all the details of a movie like trailers, images, reviews, synopsis, plot summaries etc. This is being done but limited to imdb, msn, bing, YouTube. If these sites don’t have the values then they are not being displayed.

• The IP matching is limited to 20 queries/ day

• Also we thought of providing the online resources of sites where we can buy the movie. This is not implemented.

• Rest all features are achieved as planned.
