# imdb-sqlite
Imports IMDB TSV files into a SQLite database.

It will fetch the [files][1] from IMDB unless you've already fetched them earlier.

The program relies on the following IMDB tab separated files:

* `title.basics.tsv.gz`: Video titles such as movies, documentaries, tv series, episodes etc.
* `name.basics.tsv.gz`: People in the entertainment business.
* `title.akas.tsv.gz`: Alternative names for titles, for different languages.
* `title.principals.tsv.gz`: Mapping of who participated in which title (movie / show).
* `title.episode.tsv.gz`: Season and episode numbers, for episodes of shows.
* `title.ratings.tsv.gz`: Current rating and vote count for the titles.

## Installation

    pip install imdb-sqlite

## Usage

    usage: imdb-sqlite [OPTIONS]

    Imports imdb tsv interface files into a new sqlitedatabase. Fetches them from
    imdb if not present onthe machine.

    optional arguments:
      -h, --help       show this help message and exit
      --db FILE        Connection URI for the database to import into. (default:
                       imdb.db)
      --cache-dir DIR  Download cache dir where the tsv files from imdb will be
                       stored before the import. (default: downloads)
      --verbose        Show database interaction (default: False)

Just run the program with no arguments, and you'll get a file named `imdb.db`
in the current working directory.

### Hints
* Make sure the disk the database is written to has sufficient space.
  About 5 GiB is needed.
* Use a SSD to speed up the import.
* To check the best case import performance, use an in-memory database: 
  `--db :memory:`.

### Note
The import may take a long time, since there are millions of records to
process.

The above example used python 3.6.4 on windows 7, with the working directory
being on a SSD.
