In this article we will see how we can get the list of movies in which actor has performed i.e an actor performs in various movies. IMDb has a database of almost every movie performed by verified actors. In order to get the list of all the movies performed by the actor we have to get the details of filmography of the actor
Syntax : results = ia.get_person_filmography(ID) Here ia is the IMDb object
Argument : It takes Id as argument
Return : It returns dictionary This method returns the complicated dictionary which is hard to read in order to get the titles of the movie we use results[‘data’][‘filmography’][0][‘actor’][index]
Below is the implementation
Python3
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
code = " 1372788 "
print (ia.get_person(code))
actor_results = ia.get_person_filmography(code)
for index in range ( 5 ):
movie_name = actor_results[ 'data' ][ 'filmography' ][ 0 ][ 'actor' ][index]
print (movie_name)
|
Output :
Shahid Kapoor
Jersey Hindi Remake
Sachet Tandon: Bekhayali
Kabir Singh
The Insider's Watchlist
Akhil Sachdeva & Tulsi Kumar: Tera Ban Jaunga
Another example
Python3
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
code = " 0001098 "
print (ia.get_person(code))
actor_results = ia.get_person_filmography(code)
for index in range ( 5 ):
movie_name = actor_results[ 'data' ][ 'filmography' ][ 0 ][ 'actor' ][index]
print (movie_name)
