Python IMDbPY – Searching movies matching with keyword

In this article we will see how we can find movies that have similar keyword. Keyword is a word (or group of connected words) attached to a title (movie / TV series / TV episode) to describe any notable object, concept, style or action that takes place during a title. The main purpose of keywords is to allow visitors to easily search and discover titles.
In order to get movies that have similar keywords we use get_keyword method. 

Syntax : imdb_object.get_keyword(keyword)
Argument : It takes string as argument i.e keyword
Return : It return list of movies object 
 

Below is implementation.

# importing the module
import imdb
  
# creating instance of IMDb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
  
# keyword
keyword = "marvel"
  
# searching keyword
search = ia.get_keyword(keyword)
 
# printing the search
print(len(search))
print(search[0])
