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

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