Describe Task:

In order to retrieve the data about specific movies the appropriate API needs to be accessed, and this access needs to be implemented. This will be used when a user creates a campaign, and when they are viewing campaigns, and so optional parameters (for example) could be used to allow different requests to be made. i.e. sometimes only the title and poster are needed, other times more information, and in theory the same end point can be used for this.
For #7, we need to be able to retrieve a campaign by its ID which will include the film ID of the movie in the external service. Then we can use this data to display campaign and movie details on the view campaign page.

Acceptance Criteria:

[X] End point created that calls the appropriate API to get the necessary info to be used on the view campaign page
[X] Generic call can be made so that the endpoint is reusable across different parts of the webapp

Look in code base, there is an API file that just calls it. Not like Angular where you can inject things. React doesnt restrict what access you have

@KelseyRM saw you moved this from sprint backlog to product backlog, are we no longer doing it in this sprint?

So as per discussion with @darcycox97 and @cyrus-raitava we're gonna make a wrapper file ie. endpoint that will deal with everything to do with OMDB. This means for front end people @lucyJiang279 you will have to call our API endpoint (just a bunch of functions) and hand in the film id to get relevant informaiton. This should make it easier and cleaner from your end 😄

Adding a table of services and port numbers to wiki cause running into issues with them here

Whoever is doing #45, you'll need to do pre-processing of the search parameter and replace any spaces with '+'. You'll also need to make a check to see if the user hasnt typed in a second, then send an API call, otherwise we'll be sending API calls every keypress and we dont want to do that
