The Python imdbpy module allows you search by movie title.
Example:
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
search_movie = ia.search_movie('Ready Player One')
Result:
[<Movie id:1677720[http] title:_Ready Player One (2018)_>, <Movie id:8183756[http] title:_"Projector" Ready Player One (2018)_>, <Movie id:13695838[http] title:_"Big Pauly Talks Movies" Ready Player One (2018)_>, <Movie id:8045574[http] title:_"Ready Player One LIVE at SXSW" (2018)_>, ...]
How do grab the first Movie id from the results?
Tried:
-
While
print(search_movie[0]['title'])brings back the title, these do not work:print(search_movie[0]['Movie id'])print(search_movie[0]['id'])
>Solution :
A quick check of the source code shows that you want print(search_movie[0]['movieID']) or print(search_movie[0].getID().
