Primary Movie Details
Learn and practice how to fetch primary movie details using TMDB API.
We need our TMDB API key to go through various endpoints to understand how they work. In this lesson, we’ll first explore and practice TMDB’s basic yet important endpoint; the movie endpoint. It is responsible for fetching all the fundamental information about a movie for which we’d specify movie_id
.
Movie details
People choose to watch a movie by looking at basic details, such as plot overview, movie length, reviews, votes, and popularity. We can use the movie endpoint, with the path parameter movie_id
, to get the primary information about a movie.
The base URL in focus is as follows:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id}?api_key={ourTMDBapikey}
