[QUOTE="vuego, post: 805248, member: 23741"] I've completed a first draft of a Swedish scraper. I did some more comparisons between filmdelta, moviezine and filmtipset.se and the site with most information about movies seems to be filmtipset.se. The scraper currently grab all available information. Filmtipset.se is only missing certification, language and tagline. It currently grabs the movie review if it's available. If not the normal summary is grabbed. I'm not really sure which is preferred. Some people might not want too much text and others find the summary too generic. I'll show one example, from the movie Mirrors. Filmtipset.ses summary: Filmtipset.ses review: Perhaps we should have two versions of the script. I tried the scraper with 50 movies and it auto approved 45 of them, all correct. For the other 5 the correct movie was in the possible matches list. I might add a function that retrieves the details page of every possible match to grab the imdb number for better matches but it'll probably be 10 extra web requests per movie which will slow down the possible matches list population... Any volunteers to try out the scraper? [/QUOTE]
