I am currently using the imdb api from http://imdbapi.org to get some information about a movie. When I use the API and try to open this url in java it gives me a 403 error. The url is supposed to return the data in JSON. Here is my code so far(Java 7):
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
URL url =null;
try {
url = new URL("http://imdbapi.org/?q=batman");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
InputStream is =null;
try {
is = url.openConnection().getInputStream();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( is ) );
String line = null;
try {
while( ( line = reader.readLine() ) != null ) {
System.out.println(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
reader.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(line);
}
}
