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. Company object contains all the information about the company which is related to film industry and 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 company object with the help of get_company method which requires movie ID
4. Get the XML format value here it will be in string by converting the company object into XML
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing the moduleimport imdb # creating instance of IMDbia = imdb.IMDb() # idcode = "0051941" # getting informationcompany = ia.get_company(code) # printing companyprint(company) print("--------------------------------")# converting company object into XML filexml_file = company.asXML()# printing some part of the XML fileprint(xml_file[:250]) |
Output :
Marvel Studios -------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"? <!DOCTYPE company SYSTEM "http://imdbpy.sf.net/dtd/imdbpy68.dtd" <company id="0051941" access-system="http"Marvel Studios</nameMarvel Studios</long-imdb-name</compan
Another example

# importing the moduleimport imdb # creating instance of IMDbia = imdb.IMDb() # idcode = "0022125" # getting informationcompany = ia.get_company(code) # printing companyprint(company) print("--------------------------------")# converting company object into XML filexml_file = company.asXML()# printing some part of the XML fileprint(xml_file[:100]) |
Output :
Pixel -------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"? <!DOCTYPE company SYSTEM "http://imdbpy.sf.net/dtd/imdbpy68.dtd" <company id
