The Movie Database Support

I’m currently working on an article for our company tech blog that explores building a movie-recommendation toy using plot data. For example, after watching “Terminator 2,” the system would suggest other movies with similar plot.

First, I plan to prototype the recommendation engine; if the results look good, I’ll write a full blog post about it.

Does this use case comply with your license? I’m especially concerned about whether it’s permissible to use TMDb’s plot data in an article for our company’s tech blog, and whether that would be considered commercial use.

If there’s anything else I should do, please let me know.

(I sent same question at "api for business" page form. But I thought it might be more appropriate to ask my question here, so I’m posting it here as well)

Thank you for your time.
