TMDB-Laravel

A TMDB API wrapper for Laravel 5.

How this differs from other packages? Allows for searching with ease.

Installation composer require kryptonit3/tmdb-laravel:0.3

Set environment variables:

TMDB_API=YOUR-TMDB-API-KEY
TMDB_LANG=en

To get an API key you will need to register an account with TMDB. Once registered you can apply for API in your profile. (instant).

Note: TMDB_LANG only required when not using english (es, en, fr).

Add the following to your Service Providers array (config\app.php)

\Kryptonit3\TMDBLaravel\TMDBServiceProvider::class,
// for older PHP versions use 'Kryptonit3\TMDBLaravel\TMDBServiceProvider',

Publish the config file. (not required unless you want to change some default settings, but should be set in .env anyways.)

php artisan vendor:publish

It will then be located in config\kryptonit3_tmdb.php

you may now use all of the tmdb calls with the tmdb() helper function from the API authors repo here: https://github.com/pixelead0/tmdb_v3-PHP-API-

Example

$search = tmdb()->searchMovie('Avengers');
dd($search);
