@ARIOLands It sounds like you are trying to access IMDb programmatically instead of via a web browser. This is not permitted under our terms and conditions, therefore, the 403 error is correct in this case, sorry. If you are using the data in a commercial / business context, please visit https://developer.imdb.com/ If your access is for personal non-commercial use, please visit https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/can-i-use-imdb-data-in-my-software/G5JTRESSHJBBHTGX Hope this helps.

@ARIOLands If you need to map text strings onto IMDb title IDs, please see "title.basics" on https://contribute.imdb.com/dataset
