# YTS

Node.js promise-based library for interacting with the YTS YIFY movies API.

## Installation

Install via npm.

```
npm i yts
```

Require yts in your project.

```
const yts = require("yts");
```

## Usage

### List movies

List the 20 most recently added movies.

```
const main = async () => {
const res = await yts.listMovies();
}
```

The result will look like this:

```
{
"movie_count": 25489,
"limit": 20,
"page_number": 1,
"movies": [
{
"id": 00000,

},{
// Possibly more torrent files for various qualities
}
],
"date_uploaded": "2021-01-14 13:29:52",
"date_uploaded_unix": 1610627392
},
{
// More movies
}
]
}
```

#### Narrow the list with parameters

```
const main = async () => {
const res = await yts.listMovies({ limit: 10, query_term: "Avengers" });
}
```

There are other parameters to use with `listMovies()`. Full documentation can be
found at https://yts.mx/api#list_movies

### Get movie details

First get the movie's YTS ID. You might get this from `listMovies()`. Then call
`movieDetails()`.

```
const main = async () => {
const res = await yts.movieDetails({ movie_id: 0000 });
}
```

The result will look like this:

```
{
"movie": {
"id": 0000,
"url": "yts.mx URL",
"imdb_code": "tt0000000",
"title": "Movie Title",

},
],
"date_uploaded": "2021-01-14 13:29:52",
"date_uploaded_unix": 1610627392
}
}
```

## Tests

Full tests are available for this library and the YTS API.

```
npm test
```

Note that this will invoke quite a few simultaneous HTTP requests to the YTS API.

## To Do

- Comments, parental guides, reviews, upcoming movie list, and user details:
These features are described in the YTS API documentation. However, they
either return 404s or messages stating that they will be reublished soon.
- Getting a user key (logging a user in), registering user, issuing forgot
password email, resetting a password: These features require an application
key which is only provided by contacting them
- Getting a user profile: requires a user key which is only available by using
the API to get a user key (see bullet point above)
- Editing user settings, liking a movie, adding/getting/deleting bookmarks,
making/liking/reporting/deleting comments, and making requests: These features
require an application key and a user key
