Introduction

TMdb_restapi is a RESTful API built to interact with The Movie Database (TMdb) and provide access to movie information. This API offers a straightforward way to retrieve data about movies, including details like movie titles, release dates, ratings, and more.

Objective

The main objectives of this project are:

• Create a user-friendly RESTful API to interact with TMdb's vast movie database.
• Allow users to access essential movie details through simple API calls.
• Provide a convenient alternative to directly querying the TMdb API.

Features

• Retrieve a list of popular movies.
• Get movie details by providing the movie ID.
• Search for movies based on various parameters like title, year, genre, etc.
• Fetch movie cast and crew information.
• Access movie trailers and videos.

Technologies Used

• Node.js
• Express.js
• Axios (for making HTTP requests)
• TMdb API (as the data source)

Installation

To set up the TMdb_restapi locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/raghav1saboo/TMdb_restapi.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

3. Install the required dependencies using npm:
