Implementation details

Setup guide

Step 1: Set up TMDb connection

Have an API key by generating personal API key (Example: 12345)
A movie ID, or query could be configured in config.json (Not Mandate, Default movie _id would be 550 and query would be marvel)
See sample_config.json for more details

Step 2: Generate schema for the endpoint

Custom schema is generated and tested with different IDs

Step 3: Spec, Secrets, and connector yaml files are configured with reference to the Airbyte documentation.

In a nutshell:

Navigate to the Airbyte Open Source dashboard.
Set the name for your source.
Enter your api_key.
Enter params movie_id, query, language (if needed).
Click Set up source.

We use only GET methods, all streams are straightforward.
