Python IMDbPY – Getting Series Countries as XML

In this article we will see how we can get the series countries 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. Some series have information about the countries of their origin or countries where they are released.

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 ‘countries’ keyword

Below is the implementation 

Python3




# importing the module
import imdb
  
# creating instance of IMDb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
  
# id
code = "6468322"
   
# getting information
series = ia.get_movie(code)
   
# printing title
print(series.data['title'])
 
print("--------------------------------")
 
# converting series object's COUNTRIES into XML file
xml = series.getAsXML('countries')
 
# printing some part of the XML file
print(xml[:100])


Output :

Money Heist
--------------------------------
<countries infoset="main"<item Spain</item</countries

Another example 

Python3




# importing the module
import imdb
  
# creating instance of IMDb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
  
# id
code = "6077448"
   
# getting information
series = ia.get_movie(code)
   
# printing title
print(series.data['title'])
 
print("--------------------------------")
 
# converting series object's COUNTRIES into XML file
xml = series.getAsXML('countries')
 
# printing some part of the XML file
print(xml[:100])


Output :

Sacred Games
--------------------------------
<countries infoset="main"<item India</item<item United States</item</countries
