Hi, thnx for the template, there are just 2 typos in the template:
\nrealesed -> released
\ndesctiption. -> description
Such a great template!
When a film has no rating (Example imdb page) I get console log error: "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ratingValue')".
To fix it I just removed the two lines that refer to it.
If anyone knows how to fix it so that the template works regardless of whether a rating exists, please let me know
@filmgal Fixed, but further development will be continued here: https://github.com/basilioss/obsidian-scrapers/

Not sure if this is allowed here, but I couldn't find how to send you a private message. Any chance I could hire you to write a very similar thing for me using Letterboxd.com instead of imdb? I already have a google script that does what I need, but your method is much quicker. I've been trying to figure out how to do it on my own, but I can't even get just "title" to work!
