Python IMDbPY – Getting kind of the series

In this article we will see how we can get the kind of series. Kind is basically tells what type of series is for example “tv series” or “movie” etc.

In order to get this we have to do the following – 1. Get the series details with the help of get_movie method 2. As this object will act as dictionary therefore we have to filter the object 3. Get the main data of object with the help of data method which will return dictionary 4. Get the kind details from the dictionary

Below is the implementation 

Python3

# importing the module
import imdb

# creating instance of IMDb
ia = imdb.IMDb()

# id
code = "6077448"

# getting information
series = ia.get_movie(code)

# getting kind of the series
kind = series.data['kind']

# printing the object i.e name
print(series)

# print the kind
print(kind)

Output :
