get_by_id doesn't work in all cases.

[wf5w]

if I do a search (on the the search query 'next', I get quite a few id's.

All of the id's that begin with 'tt ...' work, but there are some that begin with 'nm ....' that don't return any results at all.

These id's work:
"tt10767052"
"tt0092455"
"tt0435705"
"tt23931190"
"tt9315054"

These id's do not return anything from get_by_id:
"nm0000113"
"nm4928991"
"nm0869084"
"nm14025647"
"nm0206478"

Otherwise, these calls appear to do what I need for them to do.

Hello @wf5w,

IDs starting with tt are for movies/series/episodes, and IDs starting with nm are for persons.

get_by_id is for movies/series/espisodes. You should use person_by_id for IDs starting with nm:

>>> from imdbmovies import IMDB
>>> imdb = IMDB()
>>> res = imdb.person_by_name('Rajkummar Rao') #OR imdb.person_by_id("nm3822770")
>>> print(res)
>>> {
    "url": "/name/nm3822770/",
    "name": "Rajkummar Rao",
