I don't know what you're asking.

Sorry I was unclear. I was looking for a command line tool to interface with imdb, and was super happy to come across goim and to see the rg dev behind it, which we all use and love. The readme clearly states "PROJECT WILL BE OBSOLETE SEPTEMBER 10, 2017" and reason given imdb's data dumps are deprecated/changed. I read up on the current state of imdb and found the new dumps, as linked. Since this repo hasn't been updated for a long time, I thought you might've been unaware of the new location of the dumps. A imdb-cli tool of sorts to interface with imdb would be awesome.

I'm aware and I built a new tool that uses the new dumps: https://github.com/BurntSushi/imdb-rename

This goim project was built around the old dumps and uses a relational database to store and search the data. The new tool is built around the new dumps and uses a bespoke inverted index database for searching.

A imdb-cli tool of sorts to interface with imdb would be awesome.

To be clear, I don't accept requests to build tools. I build tools that I want to build.
