In this article we will see how we can get the series run times information(info-set) 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 all the episodes and seasons that has records at IMDb data base. Run times are basically the times series had run.
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 with the help of ‘runtimes’ keyword
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing the moduleimport imdb # creating instance of IMDbia = imdb.IMDb() # id code = "6077448" # getting information series = ia.get_movie(code) # printing title print(series.data['title']) print("--------------------------------")# converting series object's RUN TIMES into XML filexml = series.getAsXML('runtimes')# printing the XML fileprint(xml) |
Output :
Sacred Games -------------------------------- <runtimes infoset="main"<item50</item</runtimes
Another example
Python3
# importing the moduleimport imdb # creating instance of IMDbia = imdb.IMDb() # id code = "6468322" # getting information series = ia.get_movie(code) # printing title print(series.data['title']) print("--------------------------------")# converting series object's RUN TIMES into XML filexml = series.getAsXML('runtimes')# printing the XML fileprint(xml) |
Output :
Money Heist -------------------------------- <runtimes infoset="main"<item 70</item</runtimes
