TMDb API Client (for the JVM)

Usage

Add the following dependency to your project:

// Gradle
implementation 'io.v47.tmdb-api-client:standalone:4.7.1'

// Gradle Kotlin DSL
implementation("io.v47.tmdb-api-client:standalone:4.7.1")

<!--Maven-->
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.v47.tmdb-api-client</groupId>
        <artifactId>standalone</artifactId>
        <version>4.7.1</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

This will include the api, core, standalone, and http-client-java11 packages in your project, so you can get started immediately using the default HTTP client (framework agnostic).

You can create a standalone TMDb client like this:

// Kotlin
const val API_KEY = "..."

val tmdbClient = StandaloneTmdbClient(API_KEY)

class MyClass {
    private static final String API_KEY = "...";

    TmdbClient tmdbClient = StandaloneTmdbClient.WithApiKey(API_KEY);
}

Other HTTP clients

If you don't want to use the standalone module, just add the api module and the http-client-* module of your choice to your project.

Features

This library provides access to the entire read-only API (v3) of TheMovieDb, authenticated using an API-Key, including images.

Various integrations with application frameworks are also available (artifactId):

• Spring Boot Webflux (spring-boot-starter)
• Quarkus (quarkus)

All integrations except the Java 11 HttpClient based implementation (also standalone) and the Quarkus client are deprecated and won't get any major updates except critical fixes ensuring they are secure and test ok.

Adding support for more frameworks is fairly trivial, only a small adapter needs to be implemented for the actual HTTP client. To make development easier a TCK is provided to verify compatibility of the HTTP client adapter with the actual TMDb client.

Even though this library is implemented using Kotlin it remains fully compatible with Java and exposes a Java-friendly reactive API.

Documentation

Automatically generated Kotlin docs are available here.

Building

Requirements:

• JDK 17

For local building and testing you need to configure a TMDb API-Key using the environment variable API_KEY.

Then you can simply run a complete build of all packages using this command:

./gradlew build
