Usage

Quick steps to create a virtual environment, install runtime dependencies, and run the scraper:

# create and activate a virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# install runtime dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# run the scraper (you'll be prompted for a year, e.g. 2019)
python final_scraper.py

Notes:

• The script writes a debug.html file (for diagnosing blocked or unexpected responses) and saves results into DataSets/IMDB_Top_50_<year>.json when successful.
• If you hit blocking or captchas from IMDB, try increasing delays or running from a different IP.

Visio import (how to get a .vsdx)

If you want a native Visio file, open Assets/uml.svg in Microsoft Visio and use "Save As" -> Visio Drawing (.vsdx). Visio can import the SVG shapes and preserve vector geometry so you can apply a Visio UML template or edit shapes further. The repository contains Assets/uml.svg as the editable, Visio-importable source and Assets/uml.png as a raster preview.
