Building a Unified Korean Entertainment Database from 10 APIs and Web Scrapers

A developer is merging 10 APIs and web scrapers to build one database for Korean movies and dramas.

The system combines English and Korean sources to fill missing cast, ratings, audience scores, viewership, streaming, awards, and OST details.

It pulls from platforms such as TMDB, MyDramaList, HanCinema, JustWatch, Wikipedia, NAVER, KOBIS, Nielsen Korea, and Melon.

The project aims to solve the fragmentation of Korean entertainment data across closed, language-specific services.
