Cinemagoer (previously known as IMDbPY) is a Python package for retrieving and managing the data of the IMDb movie database about movies and people.

• Platform-independent: written in pure Python 3, with a simple API.
• Released under the terms of the GPL 2 license or later.
• Cinemagoer is used by many other projects. Curious about that?

Code example

from imdb import Cinemagoer

# create an instance of the Cinemagoer class
ia = Cinemagoer()

# get a movie and print its director(s)
the_matrix = ia.get_movie('0133093')
for director in the_matrix['directors']:
    print(director['name'])

# show all information that are currently available for a movie
print(sorted(the_matrix.keys()))

# show all information sets that can be fetched for a movie
print(ia.get_movie_infoset())

# update a Movie object with more information
ia.update(the_matrix, ['technical'])
# show which keys were added by the information set
print(the_matrix.infoset2keys['technical'])
# print one of the new keys
print(the_matrix.get('tech'))
