Here, you will find detailed information on various operations, from retrieving movie details to creating new entries and managing existing movie data. Whether you are developing a movie recommendation platform, conducting research, or simply exploring the world of cinema, this section is designed to empower you with the necessary insights and tools.

Movie Structure

Before delving into specific operations, it's essential to understand the underlying structure of movie data within the API. Movies in the Monolito Movies API are organized into a structured format that includes various attributes. These attributes typically encompass details such as the movie's title, director, release date, genre, and more. Understanding the structure of movie data is fundamental for effectively working with the API.

Retrieve a Movie

Retrieving movie details is one of the primary use cases for the Movies API. By making API requests, you can fetch comprehensive information about a specific movie, including its title, cast, genre, and even user ratings. This functionality is particularly useful for creating movie profile pages, building movie recommendation systems, or gathering data for research purposes.

To retrieve a movie, you'll need to make a GET request to the appropriate endpoint, providing the movie's unique identifier or another relevant parameter. The API will respond with detailed information about the requested movie, allowing you to display it to your users or utilize the data in your application.

For more information on how to retrieve movie details, please refer to the Retrieve a Movie section.

Create a Movie

Creating a new movie entry in the API database is a vital feature for users who wish to contribute to the movie catalog. Whether you're an administrator looking to add new releases or a movie enthusiast sharing your personal collection, the API makes it easy to create and submit movie information.

The process of creating a movie involves making a POST request to the designated endpoint, providing all relevant details such as the movie title, director, cast, and release date. The API will validate the input and, upon successful submission, add the new movie to the database, making it accessible to other users and applications.

Delete a Movie

Removing a movie from the API database is another essential operation. It is useful when a movie is no longer relevant or when you need to manage the content of your application. The API provides a straightforward way to delete movie entries, ensuring the database remains up-to-date.

To delete a movie, you'll need to make a DELETE request to the corresponding endpoint, specifying the movie's unique identifier. The API will then remove the specified movie from the database, and it will no longer be available for retrieval or display.

For a detailed guide on how to delete a movie from the API, please refer to the Delete a Movie section.
