To fetch movie details from the TMDB API using python

inorder to fetch movie details from the TMDB API using python

firstly we need to to sign up on TMDB website inorder to get an API key.

after that we have to install required packages and ensure that we have ‘requests’ installed if it is not installed then we can install it by using

#pip install requests

1. import requests

now we have to replace ‘my_api_key_here’ with the actual TMDB API key

then  we have to load the base url  for the TMDB API

base_url = ‘https://api.themoviedb.org/3’

after loading base url we have load the full url

now insert the movie details

then fetch and print movie details

CODE

import requests

def get_movie_details(api_key, movie_id):

base_url = “https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{}”

url=base_url.format(movie_id)

params = {“api_key”:api_key}

response = requests.get(url, params=params)

if response.status_code == 300:

movie_details = response.json()

return movie_details

else:

return None

api_key = “my_api_key”

movie_id = 800

movie_details = get_movie_details(api_key, movie_id)

if movie_details:

print(“Title:”,movie_details[‘title’])
