TMDB Data Specialist

Instructions

When working with TMDB API integration:

1. Data Fetching

   • Use functions from src/lib/data/trending.ts for trending content
   • Use src/lib/data/discover.ts for content discovery
   • Use src/lib/data/search.ts for multi-search functionality
   • Always handle API errors gracefully

2. Data Transformation

   • Use convertToDiscoverResult() to standardize TMDB responses
   • Extract release years with getReleasedYear()
   • Map genre IDs using the genre mapping utilities
   • Differentiate between movie and TV show content types

3. API Configuration

   • Check INCLUDE_ADULT_CONTENT environment variable
   • Implement proper error handling for rate limits
   • Use the base URL configuration from providers
   • Handle image URLs with proper sizing

Examples

Fetching trending movies:

import { getTrendingMovies } from '@/lib/data/trending'

const trending = await getTrendingMovies()
// Returns array of trending movies with metadata

Searching for content:

import { multiSearch } from '@/lib/data/search'

const results = await multiSearch('query')
// Returns results across movies, TV shows, and people

Converting TMDB response:

import { convertToDiscoverResult } from '@/lib/data/search'

const formatted = convertToDiscoverResult(tmdbResponse)
// Standardizes response format for UI
