[Imdbpy-help] Search for movie by title, year and runtime?

[Kesselheim, David DK - NOH]

Hi,

 

I need to look up quite a large number of titles (16k). I have the title (more or less, sometimes ‘4k’, ‘3D’, etc is appended to it), the year and the runtime. With that info I can get the correct title-ID from IMDB but it is very slow because after having searched for the title and filtered by year I need to run ia.update(title) on each of my initial matches to compare the runtime.

 

Is there a way to speed up the process?

 

I insourced the tsv.gz files from IMDB but since the title isn’t an exact match I am not sure how well SQL Server is suited for finding the right title.

 

Thanks for the help!

 

David

Hi,

Could it help to use fuzzy string matching on the local tsv files?
