Cinemagoer (previously known as IMDbPY) is a Python package for retrieving and managing the data of the IMDb movie database about movies and people. You can use the search_movie method of the access object to search for movies with a given (or similar) title. Similarly, you can search for people and companies using the search_person and the search_company methods. Movie, person, and company objects have id attributes which -when fetched through the IMDb web server- store the IMDb id of the object. If you know the IMDb id of a movie, you can use the get_movie method to retrieve its data. It’s possible to retrieve the list of top 250 and bottom 100 movies. As on the IMDb site, each TV series and also each of a TV series’ episodes is treated as a regular title, just like a movie. The episodes of a series can be fetched using the “episodes” infoset.
