Search titles and people

search_title searches IMDb titles and names in one request. Results expose separate titles and names collections.

from imdbinfo import search_title

results = search_title("Keanu Reeves")

for person in results.names:
    print(person.name, person.imdbId)

for title in results.titles:
    print(title.title, title.year, title.imdbId)

Narrow a title search

Use exact_match, year, and title_type to reduce ambiguous results:

from imdbinfo import TitleType, search_title

movies = search_title(
    "Dune",
    year=2021,
    exact_match=True,
    title_type=TitleType.Movies,
)

title_type accepts one TitleType member or a tuple of members:

results = search_title(
    "The Office",
    title_type=(TitleType.Series, TitleType.Episodes),
)

Available filters are Movies, Series, Episodes, Shorts, TvMovie, and Video. See TitleType for their exact mapping.
