1. go to the folder script.imdbupdate/resources/lib
2. Edit the file imdbMovie.py
3. Around line 24 (at least that is the line number for me, using Notepad++), you will find a line like this: url="http://omdbapi.com/?i=%s" % self.__imdbID
4. Change it to look like this: url="http://omdbapi.com/?i=%s&apikey=xxxxxxxx" % self.__imdbID
5. Save the file.
I finally got my api key last night. Went to edit imdbMovie.py, but there is no line as described in your instructions. As a matter of fact there isn't any reference to omdb at all.

Edit: DID miss an update. Went back through the last couple of pages and found the dropbox link posted by bsoriano (thanks Bart).

imdb is free guys, you dont need to pay to get their ratings.
I would rather refresh my content & wait the extra time for my ratings to update than pay $1 to someone trying to make money off the free imdb site.
Ask brain to post an actual statement on his patron page and not an example so we can see what cloudfare are actually charging him, and maybe then i will believe its worth paying even $1 to access the free imdb ratings that kodi still scrapes every time you add a movie to your library for free.

I would love to see a move away from omdbapi. And if that's not the case, OP should update the thread to tell people that they now need to become patreons.

Scrapping content from imdb web pages is not allowed by their policy. Yes, it's free as long as you manually visit their site yourself and search/browse for stuff there.

So the scrapers that kodi uses to add content to the library are not getting the imdb rating from the imdb? Or they are violating their policy? All i know is the universal movie scraper i use that comes with kodi, gets all the imdb ratings for free. Also if i refresh any movie in my library, or update the source, it again gets the ratings/votes from the imdb for free. Im sure the other scrapers do the same, for free.
So why cant a mod use the same source these scrapers that come with kodi use? Or better yet, the scrapers could be updated with an option to just update the ratings on demand and not the entire item, that would work too. Or are you saying kodi is shipping with scrapers that violate the imdb's policy? Im confused.

I wondered why I kept getting errors for IMDB update.
Are they going to drop the "Open" bit from Open Movie Database, now that they're wanting people to pay for it?

Hey it's Brian from the OMDb API.
Lots of salt in this thread!
@inv3ntor you caught me man! This was my plan from the start! I spent hundreds of hours creating/maintaining this free API just to bait and switch people 7 years later... And all for the insane price of $1 a month! Muhahaha *evil laugh*...
Actually, I'm working diligently on the rate limiting code and registration process to provide free keys which will be finished very soon (hopefully this week or next) most likely before any of the Patreon pledges are even charged (1st of next month) so they can all switch to free keys before even being charged.
I also work full-time as a developer so that eats up 50+ hours a week of which I can't work on the API.
It's no secret what my server costs are, I posted them on the Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/posts/server-costs-8104321
I only pay CloudFlare $200 a month, and that was the issue, I've had numerous meetings with their sales/enterprise team and my traffic was costing them over $2,500+ a month, they wanted to cut me a deal for $4,000 a month instead of their usual $5,000 enterprise plan, but the donations and even Patreon today is nowhere near covering those costs.
Anyone that tells you they can host a site pushing 50TB's a month and 1 BILLION+ requests a day for under 2-4k is lying! Go play with Azures/AWS server cost calculators and punch in the numbers yourself.
I was given an ultimatum, shut it down or be shut down! Going private was the only option I could implement in the time frame given to instantly reduce traffic by 90%.
I put numerous warnings on the homepage to give people adequate time to implement the keys into their codebase, I was not aware Kodi was using my API at all. I will gladly give them an unlimited free key they can include in their compiled software, they just have to ask
And once again, I would like to apologize for my lack of foresight on how big this API would get and my ignorance of bandwidth costs. And Kudos to all the folks who did become patrons to help out! Thanks for sticking around during this hardship!

Well, I'm glad we were able to put a halt to your nefarious plot to throw the world into utter chaos.
If you switch to a free API before the end of the month will we be able to get a refund on our unused balance?

@bfritz: Thank you very much for your response, i really appriciate your work and your intentions for a free key for us kodi users
