ABOUT THIS COURSE
The Movie Database (TMDB) is a popular crowdsourced database for movies and TV shows. TMDB’s API enables us to incorporate functions—usually reserved for leading movie-related websites—into your own application.
This course is a hands-on guide on how to use the TMDB API to programmatically retrieve movie and television show data. You’ll look up essential production data such as title, release date, cast and crew, as well as associated media files like trailer videos and stills. You’ll also pull movie and TV show reviews, and associated productions to make recommendations. With time-bound queries, you’ll be able to display the latest data on movies and TV shows, including upcoming releases. Moreover, you’ll look up actors, directors, producers, and other crew members to find their production catalogs. After reviewing the various potential search functions of the Movie Database API, you’ll wrap up the course by building a Django application that integrates TMDB API.
