FilmAffinity backup to CSV

These are some minimal scripts to backup your FilmAffinity data to a CSV.

Information saved:

• list movies: For each movie in the list, it saves:
  • movie title
  • movie year
  • movie country
  • movie directors
  • user score
  • Filmaffinity score
  • Filmaffinity movie id
• watched movies: same as list movies, plus the movie genre

To perform the backup, install the required packages and run main.py with your user_id ¹:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py 861134

You data will be saved to the ./data folder.

The script intentionally waits 5s between each parsing request to avoid getting the IP blocked by the FilmAffinity server.

• gism/filmaffinity2CSV
