import sys,json
results = json.load(sys.stdin)
for s in results[:5]:
    print(s.get('title'), '| tvdbId:', s.get('tvdbId'), '| year:', s.get('year'))
"

# 2. Get quality profiles and root folders

  -H "X-Api-Key: $SONARR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

import sys,json
d = json.load(sys.stdin)
for ep in d.get('records',[]):
    print(ep.get('series',{}).get('title'), 'S{:02d}E{:02d}'.format(ep.get('seasonNumber',0), ep.get('episodeNumber',0)), '—', ep.get('title'))
