Hi,

thanks for fantastic library.

I want use XML generated from library to create ontology; where I can find the XML schema (file) used to create XML representation for movies?

Can I retrieve ONLY movies with a specific key (ex. soundtrack) ?

 Can I retrieve ALL movie in IMDB without know ID or name?

Thanks

Hi Marco,
the XML schema is here:
https://github.com/cinemagoer/cinemagoer/blob/master/docs/cinemagoer.dtd

To be honest I'm not 100% sure that it's still valid.

I do not think it's possible; not even using the web GUI.

You can do some different kind of queries using Cinemagoer, but that's probably
not what you need:

> Can I retrieve ALL movie in IMDB without know ID or name?

Depends on the kind of information you need.

If what you need is included in the S3 database (see
https://cinemagoer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/s3.html )
then it's easy since the data is imported in a SQL database, and you
can iterate on each title.

If the data is only present in the web pages, it's not possible.
Cinemagoer is not thought to
be a tool to mass-scan or mass-import the IMDb's data, and doing so
would be against
their terms of service. See

Hope this helps.
