alexandrahably / imdb_scraper

A simple Python web scraper app to extract and analyze top movies from IMDB.

IMDB Scraper

This app scrapes IMDB's website to retrieve the top 20 movies, and saves them in a descending order to csv files, based on:

• their original IMDB rating
• an adjusted rating, that takes into account:
  • the number of won Oscars (if there are any) as rewards and
  • the number of the received votes (if it is remarkably small) as penalties

It can be run locally and by using Docker.
