    # Search

DESCRIPTION
===========

The MovieDB is a free and open movie database. This module provides a
Perl wrapper to The MovieDB API. In order to use this module, you must
first get an API key by signing up.

NOTE: TMDB-v0.04 and higher uses TheMoviDB API version /3. This brings
some significant differences both to the API and the interface this
module provides, along with updated dependencies for this distribution.
If you like to continue to use v2.1 API, you can continue to use
TMDB-0.03x.

INITIALIZATION
==============

        # Initialize
        my $tmdb = TMDB->new(
            apikey => 'xxxxxxxxxx...',  # API Key
            lang   => 'en',             # A valid ISO 639-1 (Aplha-2) language code
            client => $http_tiny,       # A valid HTTP::Tiny object
            json   => $json_object,     # A Valid JSON object
        );

The constructor accepts the following options:

-   apikey

This is your API key

-   lang

This must be a valid ISO 639-1 (Alpha-2) language code. Note that with
/3, the API no longer falls back to an English default.

List of ISO 639-1 codes.

-   client

You can provide your own HTTP::Client object, otherwise a default one is
used.

-   json

You can provide your own JSON implementation that can decode JSON. This
will fall back to using JSON::Any. However, JSON::XS is recommended.

CONFIGURATION
=============

        # Get Config
        my $config = $tmdb->config;
        print Dumper $config->config;   # Get all of it

        # Get the base URL
        my $base_url = $config->img_base_url();

        # Sizes (All are array-refs)
        my $poster_sizes   = $config->img_poster_sizes();
        my $backdrop_sizes = $config->img_backdrop_sizes();
        my $profile_sizes  = $config->img_profile_sizes();

This provides the configuration for the /3 API. See
http://help.themoviedb.org/kb/api/configuration for more details.

SEARCH
======

The following search methods are available.

-   movie()

        my $search  = $tmdb->search();
        my @results = $search->movie('Avatar');         # Search by Name
        my @results = $search->movie('Snatch (2000)');  # Include a Year for better results

-   person()

        my $search  = $tmdb->search();
        my @results = $search->person('Brad Pitt');         # Search by Name

Both search methods returns an array (or array-ref in a scalar context)
of hash-refs. See Movie Search or People Search for the list of
fields/keys returned.
