Use python object retrieved with TMDB API

Question

How can i use some data retrieved with TMDB API?

This is the function:

class Movies(Core):
    def __init__(self, title="", limit=False):
        self.limit = limit
        self.update_configuration()
        title = self.escape(title)
        self.movies = self.getJSON(config['urls']['movie.search'] % (title,str(1)))
        pages = self.movies["total_pages"]
        if not self.limit:
            if int(pages) > 1:                  #
                for i in range(2,int(pages)+1): #  Thanks @tBuLi
                    self.movies["results"].extend(self.getJSON(config['urls']['movie.search'] % (title,str(i)))["results"])

    def __iter__(self):
        for i in self.movies["results"]:
            yield Movie(i["id"])

    def get_total_results(self):
        if self.limit:
            return len(self.movies["results"])
        return self.movies["total_results"]

    def iter_results(self):
        for i in self.movies["results"]:
            yield i

And the call:

def search_tmdb(title):
  tmdb.configure(TMDB_KEY)
  movie = tmdb.Movies(title,limit=True)

The question is, how can i see and use the results of the object movie?

I'm sorry for the maybe stupid question but I'm approaching now to python

could you post the json that is returned from `config['urls']['movie.search']`? — dm03514, Feb 11 '13 at 21:53
yes @dm03514 is this: `config['urls']['movie.search'] = "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=%%s&api_key=%(apikey)s&page=%%s" % (config)` — masca88, Feb 11 '13 at 22:33

looks like you can do something like:

movies = tmdb.Movies(title,limit=True)
#if you want to deal with Movie objects
for movieresult in movies:
    #do something with the Movie result (here I'm just printing it)
    print movieresult

#if you want to deal with raw result (not wrapped with a Movie object)
for result in movies.iter_results():
    #do something with the raw result
    print result

tmdb.Movies(title, limit=True) creates a Movies object. Since the __iter__ method is defined you can use for movie in moviesobject to go through the results in the Movies object. You could also get a list of Movie objects by using movielist = list(movies).

Use python object retrieved with TMDB API
