Show HN: Populate a Full Movie DB from TMDB and IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes (github.com/transitive-bullshit)
1 point by transitivebs on Nov 8, 2022 | hide | past | favorite
Hey HN, I just published an open source project which includes scripts and a guide for populating a high quality database of movies, including the most important metadata from major providers.

This includes difficult to access metadata like IMDB ratings, Rotten Tomatoes critic & audience scores, YouTube trailers, and more.

All scripts are idempotent and are designed to be re-run whenever you want to refresh your data, leaving the problem of data drift to these third-party providers.

The project's open source & free and uses TypeScript + Prisma, so hopefully some of you will find it useful for random hackathon project.
