Television show data from paramountplus

What is this repository?

The Python script paramount.py extracts data from Paramount Plus's list of television shows, downloads the image for each television show, and finally sends a request to the OMDb API.

The main purpose of this repository is to get IMDb ratings for the shows on Paramount Plus's website, as the ratings are NOT displayed and it may be useful information to know when searching for a new television series to watch.

Interesting Findings/Potential Updates

  • With an IMDb rating of 9.3, Avatar: The Last Airbender is the highest rated show on the website (when accounting for number of IMDb ratings).
  • Actor frequency: Imgur
  • It would be preferable to store the data in a relational database in order to run queries on the data.
  • May move away from using the OMDb API, as I've seen cases in which the JSON response has data that vary from the data on IMDb's website.
  • Could get updates about a show being removed or a show being added to the website.
