DESCRIPTION

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.

INITIALIZATION

  # 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.

    List of ISO 639-1 codes.

  • client

    You can provide your own HTTP::Client object, otherwise a default one is used.

  • json

    You can provide your own JSON implementation that can decode JSON. This will fall back to using JSON::Any. However, JSON::XS is recommended.

CONFIGURATION

  # 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.

SEARCH

  # Configuration
  my $search = $tmdb->search(
     include_adult => 'false',  # Include adult results. 'true' or 'false'
     max_pages     => 5,        # Max number of paged results
  );

  # Search
  my $search  = $tmdb->search();
  my @results = $search->movie('Snatch (2000)');    # Search for movies
  my @results = $search->person('Brad Pitt');       # Search people by Name
  my @results = $search->company('Sony Pictures');  # Search for companies
  my @results = $search->keyword('thriller');       # Search for keywords
  my @results = $search->collection('Star Wars');   # Search for collections
  my @results = $search->list('top 250');           # Search lists

  # Discover
  my @results = $search->discover(
      {
          sort_by            => 'popularity.asc',
          'vote_average.gte' => '7.2',
          'vote_count.gte'   => '10',
      }

  my @now_playing   = $lists->now_playing(); # What's currently in theaters
