Ratings

This is a project used to find the ratings of movies and series and compile them into a single image. This project is based on the work of Roberto Sorio. It uses a combination of api calls and web scraping in python.

this is a sample from Roberto Sorio

Description

When a user searches for a movie or a serie, the omdbapi is queried to return a list of results to the user. When the user selects a movie they are interested in, a webscraper is launched using python to the imdb website. This collects either the overall rating ( for a movie ) or the ratings of the all the episodes. ( for a series ). It combines all the results onto a single page thats returned to the user.
