How can I query IMDB to get x-ray data from a title?

​I would like to have actors' information on the participation they have on the different scenes of a title, the number of scenes of a title...​

Hi @jfortes -

We don't currently offer this data on the IMDb site, however, you can try asking around in the Amazon Prime Video Community Forum.

Good luck!

Hi, jfortes. Welcome to the IMDb Community forum! Have you reached out to the Amazon company regarding this? As near as I can tell, the most crucial part of X-Ray data isn't crowd sourced by normal IMDb contributors. I'm of course, referring to the fact that X-Ray is capable of providing information about which actors appear on screen, along with which soundtrack items are being played, at a given moment of the running time, even if there is the occasional jet lag or timing far removed from perfection. Since I don't know where the data comes from, I've been carrying on with the assumption that the scene-by-scene aspects of X-Ray data are created by employees of Amazon streaming services. Data such as performer photographs and trivia come from IMDb, though. Hopefully the IMDb staff can forward your inquiry to the right place. I wouldn't hold my breath in regards to actually being able to learn anything about the application programming interface (API) on the streaming service side.
