show imdb, metacritic and rotten ratings

https://www.omdbapi.com/ gives ratings for these services. you can get a free key, but iirc it's limited to 1000 requests per day, so you might need to get a few and distribute and/or cache the requests

having more rating sources would be very useful when judging if a movie is worth watching

thanks!

I have actually considered adding additional rating sources before, but I haven't found an optimal solution yet in terms of implementation and data sources.

I'm aware of OMDb, but with its limit of 1000 requests per day, it doesn't seem like a scalable long-term solution in my opinion. One idea that just came to my mind was to allow users to enter their own OMDb API key in the app. This way, those who want to access additional ratings would have the option to do so without causing inconsistencies inside the app due to varying availability of rating data (e.g., when the OMDb request limit is reached).

But in any case thanks for the suggestion. Additional ratings would definitely be a great addition, and I’ll keep this in mind.
