IMDB API

[UPDATE: links are update]

Here I present the module which provides APIs to get information about movies from IMDB.

This is about a Python implementation of IMDB API.

You don't have to download the IMDB's databases locally to use these APIs.

I have used Peteris Krumins' xgoogle library along with the BeautifulSoup to develop this in Python.

You may have to install the BeautifulSoup module (download from here) and xgoogle library (from here)

And here is the link for IMDB API

Here is a little bit of description about the usage:

    from pIMDB import pIMDB
    if len(sys.argv) < 2:
        print "Usage: %s " % sys.argv[0]
        sys.exit(1)
    movie = re.sub(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9\']+', ' ', sys.argv[1])
    imdb = pIMDB(movie)
    imdb.parse_imdb_page()
    print "imdb link:\n\t", imdb.imdb_link
    print "\nmovie name:\n\t", imdb.movie
    print "\nmovie rating:\n\t%s/%s" % (imdb.rating, imdb.outof)
    print "\nmovie details:\n\t%s" % '\n\t'.join(imdb.details)
    print "\nmovie storyline:\n\t%s" % imdb.storyline

It also has an API to download the poster from the IMDB website, you can use it as here:
    imdb.download_poster('/tmp/destination.jpg')

That's the end of the story :)

PS: Write a comment on how you used this module
