List of all movie titles, actors, directors, writers on Imdb

Question

I am working on a web application that allows users to share their favorite movies, directors, filmmakers and actors. To do this, I want to provide them with a drop-down list or automatically fill out for each of them, so that they can simply select their options.

To do this: I need a list of all the titles of films, actors, directors, writers present on Imdb.

I checked Imdbpy and doesn't seem to provide methods for getting this data.

Will imdbpy2sql.py be used to create the database and use sql to query db, provide the necessary data? Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Using imdbpy2sql.py to create the database and use SQL to query db, you will provide the required data.

You can also try using the Java Movie Database or imdbdumpimport to read in SQL text files.

The last way to do this is by parsing text files provided by IMDb.

Answer 2

I think your best option is to parse the text files common here: imdb interfaces . You probably just need the films "films", "actors", "actresses" and "director"; they are pretty easy to understand.
