These options are against imdb site updates. So you can basicly change which tag to use for getting the content. The extractor will try to extract the content from the options you passed.

To change default options you should pass your own options as a param while creating new instance of ImdbCrawler

const ImdbCrawler = require('hi-imdb-crawler');

let options = {
'movie': {
        'imdb_id': {
            'container': "meta[property='imdbId']",
            'attr' : "content",
            'type' : "String"
        },
        'name': {
            'container': ".title_wrapper > h2[itemprop='name']",
            'attr': false,
            'type': 'String'
        }
    },
'series': {
        'rating': {
            'container': "span[itemprop='rating']",
            'attr': false,
            'type': 'String|Float'
        }
    }
    
}

let imdb_code = "tt4227538";
let imdbCrawler = new ImdbCrawler(imdb_code,options);

imdbCrawler.getEpisode(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
});

Usage

to get an episode

const ImdbCrawler = require('hi-imdb-crawler');

let imdb_code = "tt4227538";
let imdbCrawler = new ImdbCrawler(imdb_code);

imdbCrawler.getEpisode(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
});

to get an movie

const ImdbCrawler = require('hi-imdb-crawler');

let imdb_code = "tt0110413";
let imdbCrawler = new ImdbCrawler(imdb_code);

imdbCrawler.getMovie(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
});

to get an series

You can get series with or without episodes. If you want to get with episodes basicly pass true param after callback function in getSeries

without episodes

const ImdbCrawler = require('hi-imdb-crawler');

let imdb_code = "tt4574334";
let imdbCrawler = new ImdbCrawler(imdb_code);

imdbCrawler.getSeries(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
});

with episodes

const ImdbCrawler = require('hi-imdb-crawler');

let imdb_code = "tt4574334";
let imdbCrawler = new ImdbCrawler(imdb_code);

imdbCrawler.getSeries(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
},true);
