Is there an IMDB API to retrieve character information ? Assuming I know the exact name of the character ?

There are two public, undocumented api's that may change at any time since they are undocumented and unsupported

One of them gives you some json with some relevant information for an actor: http://www.imdb.com/xml/find?json=1&nr=1&nm=on&q={NAME+OF+ACTOR}

More details can be found with this question and this answer in particular Does IMDB provide an API?
