The Movie Database (TMDB) is a popular crowdsourced database for movies and TV shows. TMDB’s API enables us to incorporate functions, that are usually reserved for leading movie-related websites, into our application.  

This course is a hands-on guide on using the TMDB API to retrieve data related to movies and television shows. You’ll look up essential production data, such as title, release date, cast, and crew, and associated media files (trailer videos and stills). You’ll also pull 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 conclude the course by learning to integrate TMDB API into a React application.

We can fetch the details regarding TV show credits, images, and videos by using the same methods as we used for movies. The input query parameters for the endpoint URL and the output response fields are exactly the same. Check here for the details of [movie credits](https://www.educative.io/courses/integrate-the-movie-database-api-in-javascript/movie-cast-and-crew) and [movie images and videos](https://www.educative.io/courses/integrate-the-movie-database-api-in-javascript/movie-images-and-videos). We just need to replace the word  `movie` with `tv` and the ID, `movie_id`, with `tv_id` in the endpoint URL. 

# TV show credits

The **TV credits** endpoint is used to get a list of credits of a TV show, that is, the cast and crew of a TV show. The endpoint takes an integer path parameter `tv_id` and returns the credits list in a single JSON response.
