Top movies of the week

⚠️ Deprecated Notice: The "Top Movies of the Week" query has been deprecated in favor of the Featured movies query. It is recommended to use the "Featured Movies" query to discover the most popular movies of the week. This document provides information about the deprecated query for reference purposes.

Endpoint

To retrieve the top movies of the week, you can make a GET request to the following endpoint:

GET /movies/top

Please note that this query is deprecated, and it's recommended to use the /movies/featured endpoint for the latest and most popular movies of the week.

Request

Here's an example of how to make a GET request to retrieve the top movies of the week using JavaScript:

const apiUrl = "https://api.moviesapi.com/v1/movies/top";

fetch(apiUrl)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log("Top Movies of the Week (Deprecated):", data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error("Error:", error);
  });

In this example, we use the fetch function to make an HTTP GET request to the /movies/top endpoint, which provides a list of top-rated movies of the week.
