ez-movie-node - A TMDb API wrapper

ez-movie-node is a TMDb API wrapper. I designed this because other Javascript or Node packages are quite outdated (the most recent is from August 2017) so I thought I make one on my own to accomodate recent updates.

The package is still Work in Progress, so don't expect everything to work correctly (see notes below).

Installation

npm i ez-movie-node

importing the package

const EZMovie = require("ez-movie-node")
const ezmovie = new EZMovie(YOUR_API_KEY)

Making a fetch call

const main = async () => {
  const response = await ezmovie.certification.movie({})
  const body = await response.json()

  // OR

  ezmovie.ceritifcaiton.movie({})
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(body => // do stuff)
}

As you can see the methods are promises so either doing .then() or await works. Don't forget to catch errors.

NOTE: Right now there is a problem within the system which prevents running methods which have optional query parameters. If you pass nothing into the method it will error. To prevent erroring always pass an empty object (you can leave methods which don't have any parameters empty). This will be fixed and you won't see this message in the future.

For instance ezmovie.certification.movie has no optional parameters so doing ezmovie.certification.movie() is valid.

Fetch call on a method with required parameters

// ezmovie.company.details has 1 required parameter (just like in the API documentation)
// company_id: integer

// This is how you make a call like this
const main = async () => {
  const response = await ezmovie.company.details({ company_id: 5})
  const body = await response.json()
}

Documentation

The methods are inline with the way the API documentation from TMDb is structured. Please see there for information on what parameters you need to pass in.

Available methods

endpoint	methods
certification	movie
	tv
changes	movie
	tv
	person
collection	details
	images
	translations
company	details
	alternativeNames
	images
configuration	APIConfiguration

Half of the endpoints are missing (WIP). Also only get requests are allowed.

Example

endpoint = keyword method = movies

ezmovie.keyword.movies()

Roadmap

• Implementing the missing endpoints
• Better error handling
• Fixing the weird empty object bug
