# ImdbPie

Python IMDB client using the IMDB json web service made available for their iOS app.

## How To Use

### Create an instance of ImdbPie

imdb = Imdb() imdb = Imdb({‘anonymize’ : True}) # to proxy requests

### Search for a movie by title

imdb.find_by_title(“The Dark Knight”) => [{‘title’ : “The Dark Knight”, ‘year’ : “2008”, ‘imdb_id’ : “tt0468569”}, {‘title’ : “Batman Unmasked”, …}]

### Find a movie by its imdb_id

movie = imdb.find_movie_by_id(“tt0468569”)

movie.title => “The Dark Knight” movie.rating => 8.1 movie.certification => “PG-13”

### Find a movie trailer poster

movie = imdb.find_movie_by_id(“tt1210166”) movie.trailer_url => “http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BODM1NDMxMTI3M15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDAzODY1Ng@@._V1_.jpg”
