searching Freebase API for Actors info

I am trying to use the freebase API to get some data on films and actors. What I have is millions of Actors Imdb Ids which I would like to get info on. (such info includes: FreeBase Id, Wiki Id, Actor's Biography and Actor's Image). How can I do that please?

Solution

  • This query will get you all actors with IMDB IDs in Freebase:

    [{
  "id": null,
  "name": null,
  "key": [{
    "namespace": {
      "id": "/authority/imdb/name"
    },
    "value": null
  }]
}]

    You can extend it with any other information that you need (but note that Freebase isn't going to have complete bios or a comprehensive set of pictures)
