IMDb Scraper

Export IMDb charts and title search results to a spreadsheet

DataLens is a free Chrome extension that exports IMDb chart pages and advanced title search results to Excel or CSV — no code, no IMDb API. It turns lists like the IMDb Top 250, or a search you filtered yourself, into rows with title, year, runtime, IMDb rating, and vote count, plus genre on search results.

Charts in one export

Turn imdb.com/chart/top and other IMDb chart pages into a table with rank, title, year, runtime, IMDb rating, and vote count.

Your own filtered title list

Build a list with IMDb advanced title search — by genre, release year, user rating, or number of votes — and export it with title, year, rating, votes, runtime, and genre.

Clean columns for analysis

Export to Excel (.xlsx), CSV, or JSON, then sort, pivot, or join it with other data, such as a Douban export of the same films.

Real-world use cases

A film student exports the IMDb Top 250 to a spreadsheet and charts ratings and vote counts by decade for a class presentation.

A data analysis learner builds a practice dataset by exporting an IMDb advanced search — say, horror films released 2000–2024 with at least 10,000 votes — and uses it for pivot tables and charts.

A movie podcast team exports a genre search sorted by rating to shortlist episode topics, with runtime and release year already in columns.

How it works

1
Open the IMDb list you want in Chrome: a chart such as imdb.com/chart/top, or an advanced title search at imdb.com/search/title with your filters (genre, release year, user rating, number of votes) applied.
2
Click the DataLens icon in the toolbar. The AI detects the repeating title rows and proposes columns — rank, title, year, runtime, rating, votes, and genre where IMDb shows it. Untick the columns you don't need; detecting the list and previewing columns are free.
3
Start the scrape. On search results DataLens keeps loading more titles ("50 more") and adding rows; on chart pages it scrolls to the end of the list. Export to Excel (.xlsx), CSV, or JSON when it is done.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what people usually ask before installing.

Do I need an IMDb API key to scrape IMDb?

No. DataLens is a Chrome extension that reads IMDb pages as they appear in your browser, so you don't need an IMDb API subscription, an API key, or code. It collects the titles, ratings, and other fields IMDb shows on the page.

Can I export the IMDb Top 250 to Excel?

Yes. Open imdb.com/chart/top, run DataLens, and export rank, title, year, runtime, IMDb rating, and vote count to Excel (.xlsx), CSV, or JSON. The full IMDb Top 250 is 250 rows, which is 250 points — more than the 100 free points a new DataLens account gets. Ratings and vote counts change over time, so the export is a snapshot of the day you run it.

Can I scrape IMDb advanced search results?

Yes. Set your filters on imdb.com/search/title, then run DataLens. It loads more results as it goes and collects title, year, runtime, rating, votes, and genre for each IMDb title. Narrower filters give you smaller exports that use fewer points.

Does the IMDb scraper work when I'm signed in?

Yes. DataLens runs inside your own browser session, so it reads IMDb exactly as you see it, signed in or not. It does not send the page through proxies or cloud servers.

Is the IMDb scraper free?

DataLens is free to install, and new accounts get 100 free points. Each scraped row costs 1 point, so your first 100 IMDb titles are free; detecting the list and previewing columns cost nothing.
