This is my API for scraping Yify

#USAGE

First you have to import it.

from YifyAPI import yify as api

Now you are ready to use it!

Currently the only method is :

api.search_yify(query: str, proxy=None)

It will return a list with dictionaries for each movie result found, example below:

An example code snippet that uses YifyAPI can be found here.

If something goes bad and there was an error then it will return this:

{'status': "error"}

So make sure to check if the response is equal to the one above with an if statement.
