Python IMDbPY – Getting person ID from searched persons

In this article we will see how we can get the person id from searched person, person id is basically unique id given to each person names can be same of some people but id will be distinct. We use search_person method to get people with the same name.

In order to get person id we use personID method.

Syntax : persons[0].personID

Here persons is the list of person returned by search_person and persons[0] refer to first element in list

Argument : It takes no argument.

Return : It return string which is Person ID

Below is the implementation.




# importing the module
import imdb
   
# creating instance of IMDb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
   
# name 
name = "Ayushmann Khurrana"
   
# searching the name 
search = ia.search_person(name)
  
  
# loop for printing the name and id
for i in range(len(search)):
      
    # getting the id
    id = search[i].personID
      
    # printing it
    print(search[i]['name'] + " : " + id )


Output :

Ayushmann Khurrana : 4731677

Another example




# importing the module
import imdb
   
# creating instance of IMDb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
   
# name 
name = "Pankaj Tripathi"
   
# searching the name

# loop for printing the name and id
for i in range(len(search)):
