PHP TMDB

PHP wrapper package to interact with the The Movie Database (TMDB) API.

Important

You need to create an account on TMDB and get an API key to use this package. It's free and easy to do, you can read this guide to get started.

Warning

This package is under development.

Requirements

PHP 8.1 and later.

Note

Package guzzlehttp/guzzle will be installed automatically by composer.

About

This package uses repository pattern to interact with the TMDB API. Each repository represents an API category like Movies, Search, Trending, etc. And each endpoint of API is a method in repository, like details() for Movies, movie() for Search, all() for Trending, etc. If you know TMDB API, you will understand this package easily.

This is NOT official TMDB API PHP wrapper, you can check php-tmdb/api if you want official package.

Why this package?

All current PHP packages to interact with the TMDB API are not up-to-date and I need a modern and easy-to-use package to interact with the TMDB API. So I decided to create this package. You can check roadmap to see what I plan to do with this package.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require kiwilan/php-tmdb

Usage of API

Basic example

You have just to use client() static method to get new instance of Tmdb class with your API key. After that, you can use repositories with chained methods to interact with the TMDB API, first chained method is a repository, corresponding to a category of the API. And second chained method is an endpoint of the API.

use Kiwilan\Tmdb\Tmdb;

    ->details(movie_id: 120); // ?\Kiwilan\Tmdb\Models\TmdbMovie

$poster_url = $movie->getPosterUrl(size: PosterSize::W500); // string|null (URL to poster)

These methods are available for Poster, Backdrop, Logo, Profile and Still.

Append to response

TMDB offers an easy way to get more details with append_to_response option. You can add more data in same request, it's really useful to get all data you need in one request.

append_to_response is an easy and efficient way to append extra requests to any top level namespace. The movie, TV show, TV season, TV episode and person detail methods all support a query parameter called append_to_response. This makes it possible to make sub requests within the same namespace in a single HTTP request. Each request will get appended to the response as a new JSON object. From https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/append-to-response

To know which methods support append_to_response, check if method has append_to_response parameter (always optional and at the end of parameters). And to know what you can add, check the official documentation.

Example with append_to_response:

use Kiwilan\Tmdb\Tmdb;

$movie = Tmdb::client('API_KEY')
    ->movies()
    ->details(movie_id: 120, append_to_response: ['credits' ,'videos']); // ?\Kiwilan\Tmdb\Models\TmdbMovie

Get raw data

If you want to get raw data from TMDB API, you can use getRawData() method and getRawDataKey() method to get a specific key.

Note

If a key hasn't dedicated method, you can use getRawDataKey() method to get it but don't hesitate to open an issue to ask for a dedicated method.

use Kiwilan\Tmdb\Tmdb;

$movie = Tmdb::client('API_KEY')
    ->movies()
    ->details(movie_id: 120); // ?\Kiwilan\Tmdb\Models\TmdbMovie

$raw_data = $movie->getRawData(); // array
$raw_title_key = $movie->getRawDataKey('title'); // mixed

Send raw request

If you want to send a raw request to TMDB API, you can use raw() method, API key will be added automatically.

use Kiwilan\Tmdb\Tmdb;

$response = Tmdb::client(apiKey())
    ->raw()
    ->url('/movie/now_playing', ['language' => 'en-US', 'page' => 1]); // ?Kiwi\Tmdb\Repositories\RawRepository

$response->isSuccess(); // bool
$response->getStatusCode(); // int
$response->getBody(); // array
$response->getUrl(); // string
