You want to interact with The Movie Database's API, and you want to use Typescript? Oh, you are in for a treat. Jtmdb is the library to do just that.

npm i jtmdb

Jtmdb will only work with your API Read Access Token (v4 auth).

import { Jtmdb } from 'jtmdb';

const jtmdb = new Jtmdb({
  v4AccessToken: 'yourTmdbV4AccessToken'
})

Jtmdb has three generic methods (get, post, and delete) to handle interacting with endpoints not yet implemented.

let results = await jtmdb.get('/version/resource', {
  query: 'parameters'
})

results = await jtmdb.post('/version/resource', {
  body: 'values'
}, {
  query: 'parameters'
})

results = await jtmdb.delete('/version/resource', {
  query: 'parameters'
})

The intention for Jtmdb is to have all TMDb endpoints implemented with the following format:

jtmdb.{module}.{method}

For example:

const results = await jtmdb.search.multi({
  query: 'Fight Club'
})

Currently, the following modules of TMDb API are implemented:

• List (v4) - jtmdb.list
• Movies (v3) - jtmdb.movies
• People (v3) - jtmdb.people
• Search (v3) - jtmdb.search
