A command-line interface for the IMdB

TerminalMdB#

TerminalMdB (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/terminalmdb/0.0.3) is a *NIX command-line interface for the IMdB. It makes use of the excellent API over at www.omdbapi.com to retrieve basic movie information.

##Usage

Either set up an alias:

alias imdb = python path/to/terminalMDB.py

Or preferably use pip:

pip install terminalmdb

TerminalMDB can be used with one of three flags:

imdb -t "foo" => search by title and return first result

imdb -i "tt0066921" => search by id and return the result (new in version 0.0.3)

imdb -s "bar" => search by title and return all results

Notes

Requires Python 2.7+

Tested on OS X 10.8

Cool things can be done with data returned from TerminalMdB. Use your imagination!

To-Do

• Movie showtimes near current location

• Actor Search

License

TerminalMdB is made available under the GPL (version 3 or later)

terminaimdb's Issues

wishlist: movie showtimes

does the underlying api permit extracting movie showtimes given a postal code? would be cool to have something like

imdb 94111 showtimes
imdb 94111 regal cinema
imdb 94111 iron man

thanks!

HTTP Error 401 Unauthorized

I tried to use TerminaIMdB:

imdb -t "Movie"

and received the following error:

IOError: ('http error', 401, 'Unauthorized', <httplib.HTTPMessage instance at 0x7f8fee1d9908>)

I realize that it has been quite some time since the code has been updated. If the package is no longer maintained and is non-functional, maybe it should be marked as deprecated?
