Search/Query movie by imdb id

[GhalebKhaled]

Hey I'm wondering if there is a way using tmdbsimple to support this, I'm trying to lookup movie by it's imdb id but so far I didn't find how to do this using this library, any help? https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/52a05011760ee3276f08138f

Look at https://github.com/celiao/tmdbsimple/blob/master/tests/test_find.py

e.g. tmdb.Find('tt7869070').info(external_source='imdb_id')

Sure! Here's an example of how you can use tmdbsimple to look up information about a movie by it's imdb id.

import tmdbsimple as tmdb
tmdb.API_KEY = '<your api key>'

# If you want to execute multiple calls on find
find = tmdb.Find('tt0266543')
response = find.info(external_source='imdb_id')
response

   'video': False,
   'vote_count': 13478,

# If you want to use a compact form
response = tmdb.Find('tt0266543').info(external_source='imdb_id')
response
