The Movie Database

Installation

Packages required:

  • Python 3
  • pip
  • MySQL (MariaDB)
  • MongoDB Community Server
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: Do ensure that mysql & mariadb is running before running the program. mysql should be in $PATH

If you are unable to seed the database, you can run the following command to create the database and tables.

$ mysql --database=DBMS_Movie -u root -p password -h localhost -P 3306 < Seed.sql

The migration and seed file for the movie database is included at Database/DBMS_Movie/Seed.sql

Configuration

Configuration files are stored in Config/config.ini folder. You can change the configuration by editing the files.

cp Sample.Config.ini config.ini

TMDB Access Token

[TMDB]
API_KEY =
ACCESS_TOKEN =

To get the API_KEY and ACCESS_TOKEN, you need to register an account on TMDB. After that, you can get the API_KEY and ACCESS_TOKEN from here.

MySQL

[DBMS_MOVIE]
HOST = 127.0.0.1
PORT = 3306 # Change to your MySQL port
USERNAME = root # Change to your MySQL username
PASSWORD = root # Change to your MySQL password
DATABASE = DBMS_Movie

[DBMS_USER]
HOST = 127.0.0.1
PORT = 3306 # Change to your MySQL port
USERNAME = root # Change to your MySQL username
PASSWORD = root # Change to your MySQL password
DATABASE = DBMS_User

Flask

[FLASK]
HOST = 0.0.0.0
PORT = 5000
DEBUG = True
LOG_FILE = log/file/path # Change to your log file path

Running the program

$ python app.py

OR

$ flask run

Usage

The Administrators can login to the system using the following credentials:

username: admin

password: admin

Troubleshooting

The movie database will be automatically seeded with the data from the seedfile, but if you encounter any error, you can run the following command to seed the database.

$ mysql --database=DBMS_Movie -u root -p password -h localhost -P 3306 < Seed.sql

The migration and seed file for the movie database is included at Database/DBMS_Movie/Seed.sql.

The sql script can be executed in MySQL Workbench or any other MySQL client.

Internet connection will be required to access the TMDB API.

Application crash after multiple request for movie details

This is a known issue (TMDB rate limit). You can try to run the program again.

The program will be stable after caching the data.
