SimpleTheMovieDB

A brutally simple wrapper on the themoviedb.com API. The library that powers Love4Movies.

Installation

gem 'simple_themoviedb'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install simple_themoviedb

Usage

First of all, initialize a client:

require 'simple_themoviedb'
@client = SimpleTheMovieDB::Client.new('your-api-key')

The SimpleTheMovieDB::Client has a few methods at your disposal:
