Plan to better search from common sense media #1

Closed Mike7154 closed 2 years ago

Mike7154 commented 2 years ago

Currently, I just build and 'guess' the URL from common sense media, which works most of the time. I think instead I can do a search in common sense media. Return the top 2 or 3 URLs from the search query. And load each webpage and match the IMDB id to ensure I got the right one. Currently my script will get the wrong beauty and the beast (cartoon) instead of the live action 2013 version for example.

Not sure if this old code would help

https://github.com/piplongrun/CSM.bundle/blob/master/Contents/Code/__init__.py

Edit:

Looks like the API URL would look like https://api.commonsense.org/v2/?imdb_id=tt0115341 with a header that contains x-api-key as per https://www.commonsensemedia.org/developers/api

However, I'm not sure how to obtain an API key yet

Mike7154 commented 2 years ago

Yes, this is the way to go. I had contacted them previously about getting a code, but then I told them I wasn't planning on building a tool instead wanted it for personal use and they didn't respond.

Now that I decided to share my tool, I will request an API key again.

deathbybandaid commented 2 years ago

you should keep the json of pulled data out of the repo, in case that is a violation of their service

Mike7154 commented 2 years ago

Yeah, I'll remove the json file. I read through their robots.txt file. I'm not doing anything they don't allow. I also requested another API key. We'll see how it goes. The current method works pretty well for movies, just not TV shows.

deathbybandaid commented 2 years ago

too bad we can't just get a database dump from them

Mike7154 commented 2 years ago

I mean....... Lol I originally uploaded the movie json file so others don't have to get movies I already got. I think they will probably just grant an API key. The question is whether or not they would make users have a paid account to use the tool. Because I doubt they would like me to share code that contains my key. Not quite sure how that will work for a non-webapp.

Mike7154 commented 2 years ago

Closing this issue. It now checks against IMDB. I May consider doing the API in the future, though I'm not sure if API calls require a paid account for the end user or not.
