Donate to IMDB Connector

My site uses this plugin and I ran into this issue about 3 weeks ago. I reached out to the author of this plugin (Kolja Nolte) to find out what might be causing this valued plugin to my site to stop working. I’ve never come across a plugin developer like this one, who goes above and beyond the average support given to plugin users. He explained to me the situation of OMDB going private and the charging of a fee to access the API. (https://www.patreon.com/omdb This is why Kolja Nolte is asking for a 1$ donation)

(People Get swindled out of 1$ everyday, that guy on the train playing like he’s blind, with cup in hand but up the street around the corner he has a Mercedes Benz).

The API is going private!
After meeting with CloudFlare on Friday we came to an agreement this was the only viable option.
To prevent any interruption of service obtain an API key and append it to ALL of your future requests.
How did it come to this? It turns out bandwidth costs money! CloudFlare has been mitigating this for us, but any option without them would merely transfer these costs to the hosting provider. The invoice image above was a two week simulated rate limiting test (that CloudFlare accidentally charged me for), which is exactly the price range I estimated for a full month $2,500-3,000+.
I need to rework all of the goals and rewards due to this change, and I hope the people dependent on this API can afford $1 a month for the time being.

My IMDB Connector was up and going the instant I reached out to Kolja Nolte and finding out what was going on after reading the above message. One dollar a month from, let’s say a PayPal account is not going to put me and I don’t think anyone into the poor house.

Reciprocate your appreciation and loyalty to this plugin with just a $1 donation, it’s only until the OMDB developer sorts out paying for the Bandwidth issue he’s dealing with. Any developer should be able to sympathize with an issue such as that, just read above or check out the comments posted on https://www.patreon.com/omdb.
