Getting started

This API provides access to a vast database of movies, actors, and related information. Whether you're building a movie recommendation app, conducting research, or simply exploring the world of cinema, our API has you covered.

API Base URL

Before you dive in, you'll need to know the base URL for making API requests:

Authentication

To start using the Monolito Movies API, you don't need to sign up for an account. It's open for public access. However, we recommend using API keys for better tracking and rate limiting. You can obtain your API key by registering as a user.

Making Your First Request

Let's make a simple request to retrieve information about a movie. For example, if you want to get details about the movie with the ID 12345, you can use the following API endpoint:

GET /movies/12345

Replace 12345 with the ID of the movie you're interested in. This will return detailed information about that movie in JSON format.

Here's a sample request using cURL:

curl -X

And the response might look something like this:

{
  "id": 12345,
  "title": "The Shawshank Redemption",
  "release_date": "1994-09-23",
  "genre": ["Drama", "Crime"],
  "director": "Frank Darabont",
  "actors": ["Tim Robbins", "Morgan Freeman"],
  "plot": "Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years (...)",
  "rating": 9.3
}

Next Steps

Now that you've made your first request, you're on your way to exploring the Monolito Movies API. In the subsequent sections of this documentation, you'll find detailed information on various API endpoints, query options, authentication, error handling, and more.
