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
