Python IMDbPY – Getting the certificates of the series

In this article we will see how we can get the certificates of series, certificates is basically certificated given to each series which tells about the nature of movie such as age-restricted certificate each certificate vary from country to country.

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 certificates details from the dictionary

Below is the implementation

# importing the module
import imdb

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

# id
code = "6468322"

# getting information
series = ia.get_movie(code)

# getting certificates of the series
certificate = series.data['certificates']

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

# print the certificate
print(certificate)

Output :

Money Heist
