tmdb_party

Simple ruby wrapper to themoviedb.org (api.themoviedb.org/2.0/docs/) using HTTParty

usage:

sudo gem install tmdb_party -s http://gemcutter.org
require 'rubygems'
require 'tmdb_party'

example:

@tmdb = TMDBParty::Base.new('key')
results = @tmdb.search('transformers')

results.length
  # => 5

transformers = results.detect{|m| m.name == "Transformers"}

transformers.popularity
  # => 31
transformers.score
  # => 1.0
transformers.imdb_id
  # => 'tt0418279'

# some attributes don't come back with the search result, they are lazily loaded on demand
transformers.homepage
  # => "http://www.transformersmovie.com/"
transformers.trailer.url
  # => "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eduwcuq1Exg"

transformers.genres.collect{|cat| cat.name}.include?("Adventure")
  # => true

what is themoviedb.org?

It’s a movie database, kind of like IMDB except it’s more of a community wiki. They also have an api that they’re cool with people using. More on the api here: api.themoviedb.org/2.0/docs/
