Python IMDbPY – Series Information in XML format
In this article we will see how we can get the company information in the XML format. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. Series object contains all the information about the all the episodes and seasons that has records at IMDb data base.
In order to get this we have to do the following
1. Import the IMDbPY module
2. Create a instance of IMDB
3. Get the series object with the help of series ID
4. Get the XML format value here it will be in string by converting the series object into XML
Below is the implementation
Python3
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
code = " 6473300 "
series = ia.get_movie(code)
print (series.data[ 'title' ])
print (" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ")
xml_file = series.asXML()
print (xml_file[: 100 ])
|
Output :
Mirzapur
--------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?
<!DOCTYPE movie SYSTEM "http://imdbpy.sf.net/dtd/imdbpy68.dtd"
<movie id="64
Another example
Python3
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
code = " 6077448 "
series = ia.get_movie(code)
print (series.data[ 'title' ])
print (" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ")
xml_file = series.asXML()
print (xml_file[: 100 ])
|
Output :
Sacred Games
--------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?
<!DOCTYPE movie SYSTEM "http://imdbpy.sf.net/dtd/imdbpy68.dtd"
<movie id="60
