# The Movie Database API
A Crystal wrapper for the [The Movie Database API](https://developers.themoviedb.org/).
[](https://github.com/mmacia/tmdb.cr/actions/workflows/build.yml)
## Installation
Add this lines to your `shards.yml` file:
```yaml
dependencies:
tmdb:
github: mmacia/tmdb.cr
branch: master
```
Then run `shards install` from your project.
## Usage
### Initial configuration
You have to provide your API key like this:
```crystal
Tmdb.configure do |conf|
conf.api_key = "secret"
conf.default_language = "en"
end
```
You can also set the API key in environment variable `TMDB_API_KEY`. The value
of this variable has higher precedence.
```
$ export TMDB_API_KEY='secret'
```
The default language is english, but you can temporarily override the global
language for a single request by specifying it as an additional parameter:
```crystal
# example
Tmdb::Search.movies("terminator", language: "es")
```
You can save a few API calls activating the cache:
```crystal
Tmdb.configure do |conf|
conf.cache = Tmdb::FileCache.new("/tmp/tmdb", 10_000)
end
```
If you active cache, all methods will be using it. Sometimes you want to get
fresh data for some particular requests: you can pass the `skip_cache: true` to
disable cache.
```crystal
movies = Tmdb::Movie.popular skip_cache: true
```
Paginated resources are managed by `LazyIterator(T)` class. This acts as a
infinite iterator, you just have to call `#each`, `#select`, `#map` or whatever
enumerable method to acces to the whole collection without worrying about
pagination.
```crystal
# example
movies = Tmdb::Search.movies("terminator")
pp movies.total_items
movies.each do |m|
pp m.original_title
end
```
