themoviedb-data

Clusterflick is a free, open-source site listing every film showing in London, from 450+ venues in one search.

This repository is tooling for downloading The Movie Database (TMDB) catalogue, so it can be explored and experimented with offline. See the Clusterflick organisation for how the pieces fit together.

Tooling to pull down The Movie DB data for experimentation

npm run get-data

Gets all of the latest movie data from The Movie DB and caches the responses in the data/ directory.

⚠️ This takes a significant period of time to run

npm run update-data

Requests updates to the data since the last npm run get-data was run.

⚠️ The Movie DB API only provides access to the last 14 days of changes. After that, you'll need to run npm run get-data again.

npm run prune-data

Removes any deleted entries. Files are not removed as part of npm run update-data
