You are probably tired of navigating through a movie website to get the right movie you'd want to watch during the weekend. There may even be no time to do that. With this code, you'll be getting newly uploaded movie links sent to your email (*still under progress)
This code scrapes movies from this site.
If you want this code available to you locally, you can clone it: git clone https://github.com/Evanskip31/Movies-Scraper.git
The very first thing is to import all the necessary libraries for this task. These include:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from collections import defaultdict
If you get import errors, it means you've probably not installed the libraries.
To install, we'll use pip:
pip install beautifulsoup4
pip install requests
pip install collections
When our code runs, it is able to fetch the following details regarding to a movie: name / title of the movie, year of release, genre, actors / cast, synopsis, movie size and length, ratings etc. All these are the parameters each movie will have and will be a contributing factor in determining which movie type a person will likely watch.
