Movie Infobox Fields

Common fields extracted from movie entries:

Implementation Notes

• Browser Automation: Uses Playwright (Chromium) due to JavaScript-rendered content
• Infobox Parsing: Extracts data from the basic info table via DOM scraping
• Reference Cleanup: Automatically removes reference markers like [53] from values
• Error Handling: Gracefully handles 404 errors and timeouts
• Chinese Optimized: Designed for Chinese-language searches

Limitations

• Requires browser automation, which may be slower than direct API calls
• Search functionality relies on Baidu's redirect behavior
• Some entries may have incomplete infobox data
• The site may block requests that appear automated (uses realistic user agent)

Use Cases

1. Movie Research: Extract comprehensive movie metadata including box office figures
2. Cast Information: Get detailed cast and crew information
3. Historical Information: Research encyclopedic entries for various topics
4. Chinese Content: Access information specifically about Chinese movies and celebrities

Testing

The skill has been tested with:

• 八佰 (The Eight Hundred) - 2020 war film
• 你好，李焕英 (Hi, Mom) - 2021 comedy film
• Non-existent lemma (404 handling)

All core functions (search, get_lemma, get_movie_info) have been verified working correctly.
