Can I call Shoof Aflam and OMDb from the browser?

Only OMDb is browser-friendly — it returns CORS headers over HTTPS. Shoof Aflam needs a server-side call or proxy, so factor that into which one fits a front-end project.

Are Shoof Aflam and OMDb free for commercial use?

Shoof Aflam has unclear commercial terms, and OMDb has unclear commercial terms. We track service terms and the data license as separate fields — see the Commercial use and Data license rows above, and confirm both before shipping either in a paid product.
