Hello

I need help with a small issue that I went through in my website (to be),
Let's just say that I bought a theme that does not have an IMDb Importer inside it, take SKRN, for instance, and I spoke to the original developers of the theme, Progression Studios, and they told me that there isn't any "IMDb API", as they called it, for the theme. I'm posting this over here to ask the community if they could guide me, let me know if it is indeed possible to or not or walk me through the process, anything's highly appreciated.

I'll be running a Film and TV Streaming, only limited to my region, but there's tens of thousands of, if not hundreds of thousands of, content that I would need to produce and upload on my website, generally, and if I continued using this theme in question, I wouldn't be able to automatically create pages or just create pages in a matter of seconds through an IMDb Data Importer or something, which would allow me to create pages without losing the theme's metadata and style. I am currently searching for something, (there aren't any plug-ins that go supported with the theme, I've done my research), that would enable me to create pages through a rather simpler user interface, allowing me to create pages for the content easily within seconds and then having it fetch data from the website automatically. I have no problem with uploading images, as far as posters are concerned, but to actually fetch everything manually for every other Film and TV Show, some of them having over a hundred episodes, per se, would definitely take me ages to set up; I'm sure of that.

I wouldn't want to lose my theme's interface and the way it's pages looks, but I would, generally, like to modify it to an extent that it would enable me to create pages for my content, with everything being fetched from IMDb, where all I would have to do would be to upload its poster and the location of where the file would be hosted. Is anything of the sort possible or would I have to consider switching themes?

Any sort of response is appreciated,
Thank you

Something similar:

This involves code that I don't think would be too much of a problem, but I still need someone to walk me through it, would be highly appreciated. I've downloaded a handful of all-round coding tutorials and courses which would enable me to do so, as soon as I know what I actually have to do.

Cheers
