Install

npm install @lorenzopant/tmdb

Create TMDB object

Pass your Bearer token or v3 API key as the first argument:

// With a Bearer token (recommended)
export const tmdb = new TMDB(process.env.TMDB_BEARER_TOKEN!);

// With a v3 API key
export const tmdb = new TMDB(process.env.TMDB_API_KEY!);

Use TMDB methods

Once you've initialized the TMDB client, you can start using the API methods. Here's how to search for a movie:

const results = await tmdb.search.movies({ query: "Inception" });
console.log(results.results);

You’ll get a paginated response with a list of matching movies, including their titles, poster paths, IDs, and other metadata.
