filmaffinity-scraper

I have built an unofficial class to give an easy way to interact with filmaffinity webpage.

Getting Started

First of all, unzip 'data / index.json.zip' and 'data / movies.zip', with this you will have practically all the base of films of the English domain of filmaffinity. All the necesary libraries for run the project are in the requirements.txt.

Use of the class

There is a simple practical example in get_movies_simple.py, to be more efficient and avoid possible IP blocking, everything is adapted to be able to use proxies. There is an example in get_movies_paralell_scrap.py, where apart from using proxies the task is parallelized.

from scraper.filmaffinity import Filmaffinity

film_scraper = Filmaffinity()

film_scraper.get_indice(proxy = None)
film_scraper.scrap_indice_web(indice_url, proxy = None)
film_scraper.scrap_movie_web(movie_url, lng = "en", proxy = None)
film_scraper.get_movie_review_indice(movie_id, proxy = None)
film_scraper.scrap_movie_review(movie_review_url, proxy = None)
