Featured movies

Discover the most popular movies of the week with the Monolito Movies API's "Featured Movies" query. This query allows you to retrieve a list of the top-rated movies that are currently trending.

Endpoint

To retrieve the featured movies (top movies of the week), make a GET request to the following endpoint:

GET /movies/featured

Request

Here's an example of how to make a GET request to retrieve the featured movies using JavaScript:

const apiUrl = "https://api.monolitomovies.com/v1/movies/featured";

fetch(apiUrl)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log("Featured Movies:", data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error("Error:", error);
  });

In this example, we use the fetch function to make an HTTP GET request to the /movies/featured endpoint, which will return a list of top-rated movies of the week.

The API will respond with a list of featured movies in JSON format. Each movie object includes details such as the movie's title, release date, genre, director, actors, plot, and rating.
