TvMazing.

Background

For a new metadata ingester we need a service that provides the cast of all the tv shows in the TVMaze database, so we can enrich our metadata system with this information. The TVMaze database provides a public REST API that you can query for this data.

Install

This project uses node and npm. Go check them out if you don't have them locally installed.

$ yarn
$ yarn bootstrap

Usage

Scraping

To scrap the tvmaze.com api and populate a database make sure a mongo database is running on localhost:27017. Or use the docker-compose-dev file that comes with the project:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml pull && docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up

To start the scraper, go to the tv-mazing package and run it with node.

$ cd packages/tv-mazing
$ node .

Explore the api

With the same database available to the tv-mazing package and run the dev api.

$ cd packages/tv-mazing
$ yarn dev:server
