Exposing IMDb Non-Commercial Datasets

Using the Spring Framework

This project is my first step into the world of Spring. The intention of the project for the user to input the title of a film and get the associated director(s) and/or writer(s).

Rather than load different datasets into different repositories and query with a join, this project parses fields from the 'title.basics.tsv.gz' AND 'title.crew.tsv.gz' into a map of 'GetCrewForMovieTitle' Query Objects and saves it to 'IMDBMovieAndCrewRepository', an approach based on this discussion.

To run the project through Idea: Execute Maven Goal -> mvn spring-boot:run

Prerequisites:

Download

• title.basics.tsv.gz
