Re: [Imdbpy-help] Can't retrieve original title
Hi Kamiku,
there are a couple of things to notice:
1.
the bug with the parser of the AKAs from the reference page (the one
we parse by default) is fixed in the repository version; please use
that one from Github.
2.
as you have noticed, when information about a movie is fetched, only
the "main" reference page is parsed (e.g.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/reference ) and that one only
contains a small number of AKAs.
You can also parse the "release info" page (e.g.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/releaseinfo ) which contains the
complete list. To do so:
>>> from imdb import IMDb
>>> i = IMDb()
>>> m = i.get_movie("0097694")
>>> akas = m.get('akas', [])
>>> i.update(m, 'release info')
>>> complete_akas = m.get('akas from release info', [])
Hope this helps,

Re: [Imdbpy-help] Can't retrieve original title
Hi Davide,
thank you very much for your answer.
It seems the *movie.get('akas', [])* method doesn't return the whole list
(anymore?).
For instance, if I'm trying to retrieve the AKAs from the Japanese movie
"Kuroi ame": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097694/releaseinfo#akas
Please note that when visiting the page you can find 19 items, "original
title" included.
But the method below returned only 6 of them, one of which is not even a
title, it is "*See more »*".
*>>> from imdb import IMDb*
*>>> i = IMDb()*
*>>> m = i.get_movie("0097694")*
*>>> akas = m.get('akas', [])*
Here the list returned contains only 1 element, that isn't correctly split:
['Black Rain\n(World-wide, English title)\n
\n\n
Black Rain\n(United Kingdom)\n
\n\nPluie
noire\n(France)\n\n
\nLluvia negra\n
(Spain)\n\n
\nPioggia nera\n
(Italy)\n\n\n
See more »']
And even if I split it after that, I still haven't got the whole list of
akas:
*>>> a = akas[0].split("\n\n
\n")*
*>>> len(a)6*
Is there any way to retrieve the complete list of akas, including the IMDb
"(original title)" item?
Or to fix the method that's already there?
Kind regards,

Re: [Imdbpy-help] Can't retrieve original title
Hi Kamiku,
searching for a movie, if it's available, the original title will be
in the 'akas' key (a list of strings, if present).
As an example, see the output for ID 0270841 from the following script:
from imdb import IMDb
ia = IMDb()
for movie in ia.search_movie('matrix'):
print('id: %s; title: %s; akas: %s' % (movie.movieID,
movie.get('title'), ', '.join(movie.get('akas', []
OUTPUT:
id: 0133093; title: The Matrix; akas:
id: 0106062; title: Matrix; akas:
id: 5274778; title: Matrix; akas:
id: 0234215; title: The Matrix Reloaded; akas:
id: 0242653; title: The Matrix Revolutions; akas:
id: 0295432; title: The Matrix Revisited; akas:
id: 0270841; title: Cyber Wars; akas: Matrix Hunters: Kynigoi ston kyvernohoro
id: 1842414; title: Matrix IV; akas:
id: 9642498; title: The Matrix; akas:
id: 0328832; title: The Animatrix; akas:
id: 0277828; title: Enter the Matrix; akas:
id: 6301452; title: Matriarch; akas:
id: 0390244; title: The Matrix Online; akas:
id: 0364888; title: Threat Matrix; akas:
id: 0451118; title: The Matrix: Path of Neo; akas:
id: 9851526; title: The Matrix; akas:
id: 0211096; title: V-World Matrix; akas:
id: 1499960; title: The Living Matrix; akas:
id: 0274085; title: Sex and the Matrix; akas:
id: 8793748; title: Matrixx; akas:
Notice that there's no guarantee that the 'akas' key is present, and
no way to tell if it contains the original title or another very
popular title for the same movie.
Hope this helps,
