themoviedb.org offers an API to get movies data. This is a node console application to request data from TMDb API and store it in a local mongo database.
This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb. You can check out the api docs and try it out here. In order to use the API you need to make an account and request an api key (info).
In order to use the script first you need:
tmdb-script
-gCurrently TMDb API can return ~332,751
movies and ~902,467
people in json format.If you are starting from scratch and do not have any data already the script will take a long time, because of the 40 requests
/ 10 seconds
limitation.
The script uses 4 collections to store the data:
To use the script you need to make a config.json
file like this:
{
"tmdbApiKey": "your-tmdb-api-key",
"dbServer": "mongodb://localhost/moviedb",
"mainMoviesCollection": "movie",
"mainPeopleCollection": "person",
"tmpMoviesCollection": "newmovie",
"tmpPeopleCollection": "newperson"
}
Start the script with:
tmdb-script -c path/to/config.json
For help tmdb-script --help
Steps:
tmdb-script -c ./config.json -s videos
