I don’t when you want update you other fields from url. some cases：

  • If you want write data to strapi on your IMDb service (maybe when you have new data), You can create the fields on admin panel, then use strapi’s api. docs: CRUD operations with Entity Service API - Strapi Developer Docs
  • If you want strapi auto get IMDb service data, I think it depends your requirement detail.
  • otherwise you wanna get other filed when someone’s requests offer a url, it depends whether you want store data in strapi or not. If so, beforeUpdate/beforeCreate may be your choice, otherwise extending core controller is another choice. Backend customization - Controllers - Strapi Developer Docs

Maybe more detail of your problem will help others to get ideas.
