A Simple IMDb API for Python

pymoviedb's Issues

Get more data?

ok it functions, but only get a couple of useful data per movie/tv search. Is there a way to have it download all the user reviews for a movie/series for example?

get() returns json dump instead of dict

Thanks for all the effort, I just started utilizing your package in one of my works!

In most apis, data is returned as a dict instead of json dump. However in your work, I manually convert your method outputs to a dict at every call.

Do you have any intentions to update the get() output so that it returns a dict instead of json dump?

PyMovieDb/build/lib/PyMovieDb/imdb.py

Line 188 in 40e37ab

return json.dumps(output, indent=2)

Only getting 5 results from search

Popular movie issue

hey man,
when i run the movie popular func i sometimes (like when i use Genre = 'Comedy') i got an error when there is no year in the IMDB web.
In line 343 in the imdb.py file, when you update the year:
"year = year.find('span', containing='(')[0] if bool(year.find('span', containing='(')) else "" "
when the year isn't display it get the value of "".
therefore when you got to the next line - "year = "".join(re.findall(r"\d+", year.text))" the code fail.
i change the else "" to: else "TBD" or whatever value you want to add.
and then added an if condition that test if year != "TBD" (there was a value in the find func before) then, it will run the "year = "".join(re.findall(r"\d+", year.text))" line and then its run smoothly.
i would like to know your thoughts about it.

something like this:
year = year.find('span', containing='(')[0] if bool(year.find('span', containing='(')) else "TBD"
if year != "TBD":
year = "".join(re.findall(r"\d+", year.text))

No results from API

Hi I'm using this API and different endpoint such as imdb.get_by_name('House Of The Dragon', tv=True) , or imdb.get_by_id("tt12593682") and I have always the result below:

{"status": 404, "message": "No Result Found!", "result_count": 0, "results": []}
​
I have installed sucessfully and followed all the steps..

Example `get_by_name()` from README.md does not work

from PyMovieDb import IMDB
imdb = IMDB()
r = imdb.get_by_name('House Of The Dragon', tv=True)
print(r)

'{"status": 404, "message": "No Result Found!", "result_count": 0, "results": []}'

Version: 0.0.8
Python Version: 3.8

404 on some IMDB id's

I think this library is awesome, however I ran into problems with some IMDB id's.

I applied the imdb.get_by_id() against 575 movies I have metadata.

13% of the results were status=404, however the ID's were correct.

Here's a list to help debugging the issue:

missing requirements file and lack of dependency packaging

Thanks for the great package! I am facing some issues:

Not working!

Sometimes, get_by_name() doesn't work. It returns no results even for famous movies like Deadpool, and Avengers Endgame.

Some Doubts

Sir, I am currently using your library PyMovieDb. I have a doubt regarding it, that is what will be the structure of JSON if the movie does not exist on IMDB or it fails to fetch the data? And how can I handle it?

Getting watchlist of a specific user

Feature request

Hi,
it would be great to be able to get the whole list of movies (titles and/or IDs) in a user's watchlist.
Thank you.

Low resolution posters from search results

Not fixed!

issue #3 is not really fixed...it is still returning string not dict as result. I have compared the 0.0.6 release with the previous one and you haven't changed a thing, so how in the world did the issue get fixed? @itsmehemant7

get alternative titles from "Also Known As"

Thank you for your hard work!
Is it possible to get a list of alternative movie/show titles from its "also known as" page?

Get year data

Hi,

can:
imdb.get_by_id("tt12593682") #Example

Also return the year of the movie/show?

thanks!

Hi Is there any way to extract Aspect ratio of movie?

For example I want movies only with Aspect ratio : 1.85 : 1

In fact, for me at least, the only saving grace it boasted was in its violent excesses \u0096 the majority of which were saved until the final third of its running time. From reading many of the other reviews on this site, it furthermore seems indicative that the exact said graphic violence is the principle reason that most other reviewers have awarded the flick such lofty marks.\n\nInterestingly and conversely, this sequel actually tones down the blood letting somewhat and apparently as a result didn't hold quite as much appeal it would seem. Well, that's what I'm assuming at least.\n\nFrom my own perspective however, whilst this sequel is indeed bereft of much of the old red stuff a flying, I would say that it actually surpasses the original in pure entertainment value by far. The martial arts sequences are far superior this time around including some rather nifty Kobudo weapons displays throughout. Also Sonny Chiba is on much better form here to \u0096 just check out the awesome sequence near the start of the film in which our protagonist allows himself to be taken to a police station in order to silence a witness. He makes his escape by kicking the bars out through the wall and leaping through the subsequent hole from a few stories up! \n\nAnother scene of amazing note involves our hero punching some poor chap so hard in the back of the head that his eyeballs literally pop out!!! (some great utilisation of ping-pong balls there!) It's also great to see the return of a supposedly deceased character from the first flick who returns here with the intention of exacting his revenge upon our hero.\n\nTo be quite honest, there's only one negative I can think of in this flick and that is the ill advised inclusion of Chiba's 'side-kick' (the first film also suffered the indignity of including one to!) who in this instance is a veritably annoying chick boasting ridiculous looking pig tails and who furthermore, has a rather unfortunate propensity for warbling along to crappy music (badly at that!)\n\nAside from this minor gripe though, overall, this proves to be a tremendously entertaining affair throughout and is well worth tracking down!",
