TMDB API Poster and Data Retrieval

This workflow can be run by itself with the dataset linked among the relevant materials (please remove the space in the name of the downloaded .csv file before execution), but it is in truth complementary to another flow, that can be found at the same directory of this workflow on Knime Hub.

This flow aims at using the IMDB id of each movie in the dataset to find the respective poster URL and English Title through the API from TMDB. Optionally, the flow also performs poster scraping from TMDB, by exploiting the poster URLs previously found.

Poster scraping (it needs days for this amount of movies) needs to be manually activated from inside the metanode. It is only activated for one movie by default. The images are saved in a folder in the working directory.

A TMDB API Key is needed to make this workflow run. Please read TMDB Terms of Use linked in the relevant materials section.
