What movie should I watch tonight?
If you're like me, then you may struggle with picking a movie to watch. I will spend half and hour doing research trying to figure out what movies I like and which are worth my time. I just wished there was an easier way to decide!
PROBLEM
A first time for everything
This was the first time I had used an API and coded in Python so it was a great learning opportunity. I also learned a lot about front-end development completing this project. I am working on incorporating more CSS to improve upon the visual look of the landing page.
REFLECTION
The API behind it all
For my project, I used The Movie Database (TMDB) API to build a movie recommendation generator. TMDB has a lot of data on movies and TV shows and provides methods for users to explore them. I don’t believe there is a limit to the number of calls you can make, which is great if you want to analyze large amounts of data. It is a well-documented API and I have found it pretty easy to use.
ABOUT
Introducing watch it!
watch it! is a web app I created that takes user input and will randomly select a movie. This is the solution to all my movie selection woes.
How it works:
-
Specify a release year, genre, and/or language
-
Hit "Search" and find the next movie for your movie night!
