omdbapi is an R package wrapper for the Open Movie Database API

NOTE: THE OMDB API NOW REQUIRES AN API KEY https://www.patreon.com/posts/api-is-going-10743518

The following functions are implemented:

• find_by_id: Retrieve OMDB info by IMDB ID search
• find_by_title: Retrieve OMDB info by title search
• get_actors: Get actors from an omdb object as a vector
• get_countries: Get countries from an omdb object as a vector
• get_directors: Get directors from an omdb object as a vector
• get_genres: Get genres from an omdb object as a vector
• get_writers: Get writers from an omdb object as a vector
• search_by_title: Lightweight OMDB title search
