    # The Movie Database
    ## An API for requesting Movie Data online

    The API requires you to sign up for an account and then request a developer key to use the service.

    [API Documentation](https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api)

    [API Sign Up](https://www.themoviedb.org/account/signup)

    [Get an API Key](https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api)

    [Attribution Info](https://www.themoviedb.org/about/logos-attribution)

    [API Getting Started Guide](https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started)

    Each Application that you build will require an API key.
    When you create/request your API key, use the type "education" for anything that we build for school.

    ### Images

    Images require you to make a call to
    https://api.themoviedb.org/3/configuration?api_key={apikey}
    to fetch the configuration info about the sizes of images, the base_url etc.

    The base_url or secure_base_url will be //image.tmdb.org/t/p/
    [Example Image URL](https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185/fg6fhyKg3vbdGtnf9Hq27Q5gS3r.jpg)
    The second part of the path is the size of the image width
    The third part is the unique URL for the image.
