The MovieDB is a free and open movie database. This module provides a Perl wrapper to The MovieDB API. In order to use this module, you must first get an API key by signing up.
NOTE: TMDB-v0.04 and higher uses TheMoviDB API version /3. This
brings some significant differences both to the API and the interface
this module provides, along with updated dependencies for this
distribution. If you like to continue to use v2.1 API, you can continue
to use TMDB-0.03x.
# Initialize
my $tmdb = TMDB->new(
apikey => 'xxxxxxxxxx...', # API Key
lang => 'en', # A valid ISO 639-1 (Aplha-2) language code
client => $http_tiny, # A valid HTTP::Tiny object
json => $json_object, # A Valid JSON object
);
The constructor accepts the following options:
-
apikey
This is your API key
-
lang
This must be a valid ISO 639-1 (Alpha-2) language code. Note that with
/3, the API no longer falls back to an English default. -
client
You can provide your own HTTP::Tiny object, otherwise a default one is used.
-
json
You can provide your own JSON implementation that can
decodeJSON. This will fall back to using JSON::MaybeXS. However, JSON::XS is recommended. -
apiurl
The API endpoint to use. Defaults to https://api.themoviedb.org/3
# Get Config
my $config = $tmdb->config;
print Dumper $config->config; # Get all of it
# Get the base URL
my $base_url = $config->img_base_url();
my $secure_base_url = $config->img_secure_base_url();
# Sizes (All are array-refs)
my $poster_sizes = $config->img_poster_sizes();
my $backdrop_sizes = $config->img_backdrop_sizes();
my $profile_sizes = $config->img_profile_sizes();
my $logo_sizes = $config->img_logo_sizes();
# List of _change keys_
my $change_keys = $config->change_keys();
This provides the configuration for the /3 API. See
http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/#configuration for more details.
