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?

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)

It doesn't contain *any* complete bios. It only contains snippets/blurbs from the beginning of Wikipedia articles. I don't know the number of images off the top of my head. You'd have to count them. – Tom Morris Jul 16 '13 at 13:44

how can I get the images that are the front picture of wiki's actors and not just the non relevent photos of an actor? – Gidi Jul 28 '13 at 15:29
