Why HTTP wins on www.imdb.com

Plain HTTP wins because the site doesn't fingerprint TLS, doesn't run JavaScript challenges, and doesn't require browser-shaped requests. The cheapest tier is the right tier here.

API Discovery: we've captured 1 internal JSON endpoint on this domain during browser scrapes. When you scrape www.imdb.com through DreamScrape, the router checks for these endpoints first and replays them at HTTP speed (1 credit) instead of firing a full browser session. On domains with discovered APIs, this is typically 10× cheaper and 15× faster than the primary tier.
