pip install webdriver-manager

pip install lxml

If you wants

To compile the application, use the PyInstall package connected above

Settings

The main parsing settings will be described here If you have registered on https://kinopoiskapiunofficial.tech/ and got your own api, in this case, you can have your api in settings.ini

[GENERAL]
api = <YOUR API>

UPD: The api from the test account was used in the repository

Final recommendations

The parser is built on using the xpath element, that is, there should be no binding to the class name of the object. But... the author is a trash coder... And therefore, the parser uses partially class name blocks, it is required to update it in settings.ini, as their developers change on the site

For example

At the moment, the class of the main page is as follows: styles_root__2gHIX in the settings, the last part of it is taken

[PARSER]
page = __2gHIX # you need to change it as the styles are updated

Have a nice parsing / Приятного парсинга
