The Movie Database (TMDB) is a popular crowdsourced database for movies and TV shows. TMDB’s API enables us to incorporate functions, that are usually reserved for leading movie-related websites, into our application.  

This course is a hands-on guide on using the TMDB API to retrieve data related to movies and television shows. You’ll look up essential production data, such as title, release date, cast, and crew, and associated media files (trailer videos and stills). You’ll also pull reviews and associated productions to make recommendations. With time-bound queries, you’ll be able to display the latest data on movies and TV shows, including upcoming releases. Moreover, you’ll look up actors, directors, producers, and other crew members to find their production catalogs. 

After reviewing the various potential search functions of the Movie Database API, you’ll conclude the course by learning to integrate TMDB API into a React application.

In this lesson, we’ll focus on how to fetch two main things—details of a person in a TV show or a movie and all the credits for a person in either a TV show or a movie. 

## The details of a person

Like movies and TV shows, we can fetch the details for each person as well. We can use the **person** endpoint to get the basic information about any person. A person can be any cast or crew member of any movie or TV show. This endpoint takes in an integer path parameter `person_id` and returns the details of that person in a single JSON response.
