js-imdb-scraper
Advanced tools
Scrapes TV Show data from the IMDB website.
To install, use:
npm i js-imdb-scraper
Then either import the entire module, or whichever methods you need:
const imdb = require("js-imdb-scraper");
// OR
const { getSearchResults, getSeasonRatings, getAllRatings, getNumSeasons } = require("js-imdb-scraper");
The getSearchResults(showName)
method uses the IMDB search page to list shows that mach the given input string.
The input string should contain letters, numbers and spaces only. This is usually enough to find the right shows.
This method will only show TV Shows, not movies.
const imdb = require("js-imdb-scraper");
const example = async () => {
const searchResults = await imdb.getSearchResults("westworld");
return searchResults;
}
This method gives us:
[
{
title: 'Westworld (2016)',
id: 'tt0475784',
img: 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTRmYzNmOTctZjMwOS00ODZlLWJiZGQtNDg5NDY5NjE3MTczXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMDM2NDM2MQ@@._V1_UX32_CR0,0,32,44_AL_.jpg'
},
{
title: 'Beyond Westworld (1980)',
id: 'tt0080198',
img: 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTU4NTIyMjM3Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDk0OTQ0MzE@._V1_UX32_CR0,0,32,44_AL_.jpg'
}
]
Once we have the the show details, we can use the IMDB show ID to get a seasons ratings using getSeasonRating(showId, season)
. Here, we select the 2016 westworld show and find season 1 ratings:
const imdb = require("js-imdb-scraper");
const example = async () => {
const searchResults = await imdb.getSearchResults("westworld");
const selectedShowId = searchResults[0].id;
const seasonOneRatings = await imdb.getSeasonRatings(selectedShowId, 1);
return seasonOneRatings;
}
This gives us:
[
{ episode: 1, rating: '8.9' },
{ episode: 2, rating: '8.6' },
{ episode: 3, rating: '8.4' },
{ episode: 4, rating: '8.7' },
{ episode: 5, rating: '8.7' },
{ episode: 6, rating: '8.9' },
{ episode: 7, rating: '9.5' },
{ episode: 8, rating: '8.8' },
{ episode: 9, rating: '9.4' },
{ episode: 10, rating: '9.7' }
]
With the IMDB show ID we can receive all season ratings using getAllRatings(showId)
:
const imdb = require("js-imdb-scraper");
const example = async () => {
const searchResults = await imdb.getSearchResults("westworld");
const selectedShowId = searchResults[0].id;
const allSeasonRatings = await imdb.getAllRatings(selectedShowId);
return allSeasonRatings;
}
This gives us:
{
'1': [
{ episode: 1, rating: '8.9' },
{ episode: 2, rating: '8.6' },
{ episode: 3, rating: '8.4' },
{ episode: 4, rating: '8.7' },
{ episode: 5, rating: '8.7' },
{ episode: 6, rating: '8.9' },
{ episode: 7, rating: '9.5' },
{ episode: 8, rating: '8.8' },
{ episode: 9, rating: '9.4' },
{ episode: 10, rating: '9.7' }
],
'2': [
{ episode: 1, rating: '8.2' },
{ episode: 2, rating: '8.1' },
{ episode: 3, rating: '8.0' },
{ episode: 4, rating: '9.0' },
{ episode: 5, rating: '7.9' },
{ episode: 6, rating: '8.2' },
{ episode: 7, rating: '8.6' },
{ episode: 8, rating: '9.2' },
{ episode: 9, rating: '8.8' },
{ episode: 10, rating: '8.8' }
],
'3': [
{ episode: 1, rating: '8.5' },
{ episode: 2, rating: '8.4' },
{ episode: 3, rating: '8.4' },
{ episode: 4, rating: '9.0' },
{ episode: 5, rating: '8.2' },
{ episode: 6, rating: '8.5' },
{ episode: 7, rating: '8.1' },
{ episode: 8, rating: '7.4' }
]
}
With the IMDB ID we can find the number of show seasons by using getNumSeasons(showId)
:
const imdb = require("js-imdb-scraper");
const example = async () => {
const searchResults = await imdb.getSearchResults("westworld");
const selectedShowId = searchResults[0].id;
const numSeasons = await imdb.getNumSeasons(selectedShowId);
return numSeasons;
}
This gives us:
