Movies Library Metadata Explorer using Django.
It includes a REST API for the catalog models using Django REST Framework.

About the demo data: All the MLME demo metadata has been entered
manually over the years as a hobby by the author of MLME.

Starting with version 0.1.0, MLME includes a TMDB integration with
the TMDB REST API that the user can use to get movie data from TMDB.

• Regarding the TMDB integration:
  • This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB
    
  • You will need to get a TMDB API access token to use this integration:
