In this article we will see how we can achieve the set of information which retrieved by default by get_movie method, with the help of get_movie_infoset we can know all the information that we can achieve of the movie. But all the information is not extracted as it will be time consuming process.

In order to know the default information that a movie object extracts we will use default_info method.

Here movie is imdb Movie object

Argument : It takes no argument

# searching the Id
movie = ia.get_movie(code)

# getting default info
info = movie.default_info

# printing movie title
print(movie['title'])

# printing the info
print(info)

Output :
