A Python Metacritic API. Web scraping based.
A simple Python module that works as a Metacritic API. It uses the BeautifulSoup and the Requests library.
Pycritic is under development and hasn't been tested enough (just in Python 3.10 for now).
- Support for all categories
- Search
Based on demo.py:
# If you have included pycritic.py in your project
import pycritic
# For now Pycritic just works with Metacritic URLs
scraper = pycritic.Scraper()
resource = scraper.get("http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/fallout-new-vegas")
print(resource.name)
# >> Fallout New Vegas
print(resource.date)
# >> Oct 19, 2010
print(resource.metascore)
# >> 84
print(resource.userscore)
# >> 8.0
print(resource.description)
