Retrieving IMDB movie IDs

So , I recently was working on an interesting problem where I needed a way to retrieve IMDB movie IDs given movie names and use the IDs to further retrieve its Ratings . I used this opportunity to test a long standing code that I wrote to read data in the JSON format.  Well, it worked and made the job a lot quicker and easier. Here's the code

just copy and paste in your notepad/ text editor >> save it as an HTML and RUN!



 <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

 <body>

 <h1 id="header">IMDB ID RETREIVER...Loading, Please be patient</h1>
<div id="id01"></div>
