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.

In this lesson, we'll focus on the endpoints— movie images and videos. 
## Movie images

When we create a movie application, having access to the movie images is a plus for developers. This is because the use of images adds to the interactivity of their application and attracts relatively more users. We can get the images that belong to a specific movie using the **images** endpoint. This endpoint takes an integer path parameter `movie_id` and returns a list of paths to images in a single JSON response.
