movie_db's Issues

Found a bug

I'm having a problem with this.

Rate limit and stability

Hi, thank you for making this app. My question is for how long we can count on this api? And is there any rate limit for IPs?

Error while getting a movie by id with no error message

Hello there, Excellent work by the way!

But here's a bug, when i try to get this movie :
http://theapache64.com/movie_db/search?keyword=tt6793470

it's returning this :

Array ( [error_code] => 1 [error] => 1 [message] => 1 )

I don't exactly need to get this movie, but for future cases we don't want the clients to see bugs in our projects so it would be nice if you fix that!.

i have a question for you, will this project keep alive so i can use it in my projects without switching to another package after time?

if so, that would be great thing! and fixing those simple bugs.

Thanks.

Still going ?

Hi,

after the title of the project it's written "[deceased]", and the server URL doesn't work anymore.

But I see you were still working on it few days ago. Did you stop ? Do you plan to have that up again ?

Regards.

Site for sale!

It appears as if your site is up for sale. Will you be redirecting your tutorials and GitHub links elsewhere? BTW... Really clear and easy to understand tutorials! Thanks

Year, Actors, Directors

Hi,
thanks for that project. I switched to it from Omdb. Easy and works, bravo.

Would be nice to have the year, actors and directors.

Thanks.

Found a bug

I'm having a problem with this.

TV shows

Could it be possible to have the same info for the tv series?
Currently, it searches for tv series too, but gets only one episode and an "illegal repetition" error, but it seems that it can reach the main info of that title.

Site is dead ?

URLs like in your example : http://theapache64.xyz:8080/movie_db/search?keyword=Titanic don't work anymore.
A problem ?

API occasionally returns invalid json

The API occasionally returns invalid json, although I'm not able to manually reproduce the problem. For example, this query:
http://theapache64.cf:8080/movie_db/search?keyword=Tera%20Intezaar

usually returns this valid data:

{"data":{"plot":"A woman sets out to uncover how her lover went missing.","year":"2017","imdb_id":"tt5784852","director":"Raajeev Walia","name":"Tera Intezaar","rating":"3.6","genre":"Romance,Thriller","poster_url":"https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BOWRhMWE5NzgtMGEzNS00YjM2LWE4ZTAtZWQ4MDY3MDVkMTQxXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjQ2MjQ5NzM@._V1_UY268_CR4,0,182,268_AL_.jpg","stars":"Sunny Leone, Gauhar Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Sudha Chandran"},"error_code":0,"error":false,"message":"Movie found"}

However, occasionally, it will return this invalid json (note there are 2 json blobs appended together):

{"data":{"plot":"After being told that their children never existed, a man and woman soon discover there is a much bigger enemy at work.","year":"2004","imdb_id":"tt0356618","director":"Joseph Ruben","name":"The Forgotten","rating":"5.8","genre":"Drama,Horror,Mystery","poster_url":"https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjAwMjIyNjU4NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNjE3NjYyMQ@@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_.jpg","stars":"Julianne Moore, Dominic West, Christopher Kovaleski, Matthew Pleszewicz"},"error_code":0,"error":false,"message":"Movie found"}{"data":{"plot":"A woman sets out to uncover how her lover went missing.","year":"2017","imdb_id":"tt5784852","director":"Raajeev Walia","name":"Tera Intezaar","rating":"3.6","genre":"Romance,Thriller","poster_url":"https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BOWRhMWE5NzgtMGEzNS00YjM2LWE4ZTAtZWQ4MDY3MDVkMTQxXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjQ2MjQ5NzM@._V1_UY268_CR4,0,182,268_AL_.jpg","stars":"Sunny Leone, Gauhar Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Sudha Chandran"},"error_code":0,"error":false,"message":"Movie found"}

Accents

Hi,
there is a problem with accents. The charset you use seems to be ISO-8859-1. My guess is a missing "Content-Type application/json; charset=iso-8859-1" header in response.
HTTP 1.1 says that the default charset is ISO-8859-1, that's why it's working in a browser. But not in google script.

PS : movie with accent : http://theapache64.xyz:8080/movie_db/search?keyword=tt3337092
PS2 : would you consider switching to utf-8 ?

Optional argument 'year' in URL call

It would be nice to have an additional year parameter for the URL call instead of just 'keyword'. There are movies like "Fantastic Four" with the same title, but they are released in different years (old movie in 2005 and new one 2015 in this case).

Otherwise, great work, works well 👍
