imdbify convert a movie list to an IMDb CSV file, thus may be used between the site/tool export and site/tool import, to fill the gap between the majority of them.
Examples :
- To export from IMDb to SensCritique, export a CSV file by using "Export this List" on IMDb, then import the data in SensCritique with imdb2senscritique.
- To export from trakt.tv to SensCritique, export trakt.tv data with trakt.tv backup, convert a file (ex.
ratings_movies.txt) to IMDb CSV format with imdbify, then import the data in SensCritique with imdb2senscritique. - To export from ICheckMovies to trakt.tv, criticker or SensCritique, export ICheckMovies data (see below), convert to IMDb CSV format with imdbify, then import to trakt.tv with TraktRater or to criticker (www.criticker.com/?im) or SensCritique with imdb2senscritique.
- compare : Drop several export files from IMDb, trakt.tv backup, or any file containing IMDb ID's surrounded by double quotes to compare their IMDb IDs.
Create a CSV export of the checked movies in icheckmovies, as a list of IMDB urls.
- Install the Web Scraper Extension for chrome
- Import the following sitemap (replace
44by the number of pages in icheckmovies), scrape (it may take more than a minute) & export the resulting CSV file
{"startUrl":"https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/checked/?page=[1-44]","selectors":[{"parentSelectors":["_root"],"type":"SelectorElementAttribute","multiple":true,"id":"imdb_link","selector":"a.optionIMDB","extractAttribute":"href","delay":""}],"_id":"icheckmovies_checked_imdbids"} - delete the url prefixes in the file with a text editor to keep only the IMDb ID surrounded by double quotes
- drop the file onto compare and save the result
- give the resulting data to TraktRater.
Done !
