IMDBVisualiser

Simple script that webscrapes for a tv show then displays the average user scores for all episodes in a plot

to_do:

  fix the matplotlib representation - currently the y axis is broken
  split IMDBScrapy into its own class
  import into the IMDBVisualiser script to make modular
  add in line entry "TV Show" functionality - this should be easy, especially if you pair it with the OMDB API to grab the show id#. however, the point of doing this is to not be reliant on API's since that's cheating.
  not sure if there's a way around all of the get requests - the html for imdb is a little convoluted, with usable data hidden across a bunch of pages, hence all the loading and the tremendous run time

Acknowledgements

inspired by u/BoMcCready https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/brnktf/tv_show_imdb_user_rating_trajectories_oc/ his implementation is in tableau, took the idea and ran with it to create a python version to teach myself webscraping
