This is a Golang wrapper around the TMDb API.

An API Key is required. To register for one, head over to themoviedb.org.

This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.

Requirements

  • Go 1.18.x or higher. We aim to support the latest supported versions of go.

Installation

go get -u github.com/cyruzin/golang-tmdb

Usage

To get started, import the tmdb package and initiate the client:

import "github.com/cyruzin/golang-tmdb"

tmdbClient, err := tmdb.Init(os.Getenv("YOUR_APIKEY"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
}

// Using v4
tmdbClient, err := tmdb.InitV4(os.Getenv("YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
}

// OPTIONAL: Enabling auto retry functionality.
// This option will retry if the previous request fail (429 TOO MANY REQUESTS).
tmdbClient.SetClientAutoRetry()

// OPTIONAL: Set an alternate base URL if you have problems with the default one.
// Use https://api.tmdb.org/3 instead of https://api.themoviedb.org/3.
tmdbClient.SetAlternateBaseURL()

// OPTIONAL: For tests, set a custom base URL
tmdbClient.SetCustomBaseURL("http://localhost:3000")

// Get the current base URL
tmdbClient.GetBaseURL()

// OPTIONAL: Setting a custom config for the http.Client.
// The default timeout is 10 seconds. Here you can set other
// options like Timeout and Transport.
customClient := http.Client{
    Timeout: time.Second * 5,
    Transport: &http.Transport{
        MaxIdleConns: 10,
        IdleConnTimeout: 15 * time.Second,
    },
}

tmdbClient.SetClientConfig(customClient)

// OPTIONAL: Enable this option if you're going to use endpoints
// that needs session id.
//
// You can read more about how this works:
// https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/authentication/how-do-i-generate-a-session-id
tmdbClient.SetSessionID(os.Getenv("YOUR_SESSION_ID"))

movie, err := tmdbClient.GetMovieDetails(297802, nil)
if err != nil {
 fmt.Println(err)
}

fmt.Println(movie.Title)

With optional params:

import "github.com/cyruzin/golang-tmdb"

tmdbClient, err := tmdb.Init(os.Getenv("YOUR_APIKEY"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
}

// Using v4
tmdbClient, err := tmdb.InitV4(os.Getenv("YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
}

options := map[string]string{
  "language": "pt-BR",
  "append_to_response": "credits,images",
}

movie, err := tmdbClient.GetMovieDetails(297802, options)
if err != nil {
 fmt.Println(err)
}

fmt.Println(movie.Title)

Helpers:

Generate image and video URLs:

import "github.com/cyruzin/golang-tmdb"

tmdbClient, err := tmdb.Init(os.Getenv("YOUR_APIKEY"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
}

options := map[string]string{
 "append_to_response": "videos",
}

movie, err := tmdbClient.GetMovieDetails(297802, options)
if err != nil {
 fmt.Println(err)
}

fmt.Println(tmdb.GetImageURL(movie.BackdropPath, tmdb.W500))
// Output: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500/bOGkgRGdhrBYJSLpXaxhXVstddV.jpg
fmt.Println(tmdb.GetImageURL(movie.PosterPath, tmdb.Original))
// Ouput: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/bOGkgRGdhrBYJSLpXaxhXVstddV.jpg

for _, video := range movie.MovieVideosAppend.Videos.Results {
   if video.Key != "" {
	 fmt.Println(tmdb.GetVideoURL(video.Key))
     // Output: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZfuNTqbHE8
