Scraping IMDB for Simpsons Reviews | Python Web Scraping Walkthrough

I'll be building a Python script to scrape series data from IMDB 🎬.

This is part 1 of 2, in a larger project where I want to collect a bunch of data on my favourite series from IMDB, then analyse it and create some cool visuals using Python 🐍.

🎞️ Video Timestamps

00:00 - Intro
01:00 - Backgound
02:20 - Request Data
06:20 - Parse Response
14:18 - Make DataFrame
18:23 - Outro

My name is Matt, I'm a self-taught programmer and new YouTuber! 😊

I'm keen on tech, art and lately I've been getting into filming stuff - Hope to see you guys around!

Hey! Just wanted to raise a quick improvement to the code. When you're trying to isolate the score and votes text, you don't need to go down the html layer-by-layer as I did in the video.
You can actually get the same result by just targeting the final span tags directly:
episode_score = episode.find('span', attrs={'class':
Still good practice though, I suppose 😊 Happy coding! 👨🏽‍💻

You saved me days of hard work (I was struggling with "load more" buttons on IMDB reviews & scrapy)... I learned more in 10 minutes with you than the past 3 days or so. Thank you <3

Legend, I learnt so much please keep making project videos like these. Easy to understand and it felt more like listening to a friend rather than a lecture.

feedback: Can you post the final code in the video description or provide a link :)

hey matt!
amazing work done but I had 1 question
What if page numbers or season is not given ? only next and previous is mentioned

I usually use scrapy, but bs4 has great benefits to be able to visualize each line of code in Jupyter

Hey Matt, I'm not able to move forward because I'm getting <Response [403]>. Can you tell me what might be the problem ?

Hi Matt great Video.. really breaks the concept down for easy understanding.. Can you also share the .ipnyb file for this.. It will be really helpful
