Python IMDbPY – Getting list of movies performed by the actor
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
# importing the module import imdb # creating instance of IMDb ia = imdb.IMDb() # person id code = " 1372788 " # printing person name print (ia.get_person(code)) # getting information actor_results = ia.get_person_filmography(code) # printing movie name 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
