A Spring Boot web application that searches, stores, and manages information about TV series and episodes using an external movie API.

The system consumes data from an external API, converts the JSON responses into Java objects, and persists the information into a PostgreSQL database using Spring Data JPA.

This project was developed to practice backend development with Java and Spring Boot, focusing on API integration, data persistence, and application architecture.

Features

✔ Search TV series using an external API ✔ Store series data in a PostgreSQL database ✔ Retrieve stored series information ✔ Manage seasons and episodes data ✔ Convert JSON responses into Java objects ✔ Structured backend architecture with Spring Boot

Tech Stack Technology Purpose Java Main programming language Spring Boot Backend framework Spring Data JPA Database interaction Hibernate ORM PostgreSQL Database Jackson JSON serialization/deserialization Maven Dependency management Concepts Practiced

This project applies several important backend concepts:

REST API consumption JSON deserialization Entity modeling Database persistence with JPA Repository pattern Service layer architecture Object mapping Clean backend structure Architecture Overview

The project follows a layered architecture commonly used in backend applications.

The application consumes data from a movie/series API that returns information such as:

Title Total seasons Rating Poster Plot Episode information

The responses are converted to Java objects using Jackson.

Create a PostgreSQL database:

screenmatch

Example configuration:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/screenmatch spring.datasource.username=your_user spring.datasource.password=your_password Run the application

Run the Spring Boot application:

ScreenmatchWebApplication.java

Spring Boot will automatically:

start the application connect to the database create tables if necessary Example Data

Example series stored in the database:

Series: Breaking Bad Seasons: 5 Rating: 9.5 Episodes: Multiple episodes per season Learning Goals

This project was created to strengthen skills in:

Java backend development Spring Boot framework API integration database persistence software architecture 📚 Project Origin

This project was initially developed as part of a Java backend course, with additional documentation and improvements added by me.
