Below are some key features of the API:\n\n| Features | |\n| --- | --- |\n| Extensive Database | Access data on millions of movies and TV shows, both past and present. |\n| Multiple language support | Browse data in your preferred language, with support for over 30 languages. |\n| Image Library | Download high-resolution posters, backdrops, and profile pictures for movies and actors. |\n| Search and Filtering | Find specific movies or TV shows through keywords, genres, release dates, ratings, and other criteria. |\n\n### Example Use Case:\n\n**Building a Movie Recommendation App:**\n\nImagine you're creating an app that suggests movies and TV shows based on a user's preferences. Here's how the TMDb API would come in handy:\n\n1. **User selects their favorite genres and actors:** You use the TMDb API's search and filtering features to find movies and TV shows matching those criteria.\n2. **Gather detailed information:** Download cast and crew information, plot summaries, ratings, and reviews to provide users with an in-depth overview of each recommendation.\n3. **Display appealing visuals:** Enhance your app with high-quality posters and backdrops from the TMDb image library.\n4. **Offer additional features:** Use TMDb's discoverability tools to suggest similar movies, trending content, and upcoming releases based on the user's choices.\n \n\n# Getting started\n\nWelcome to version 3 of The Movie Database (TMDB) API compiled by Samuel Theophilus in Postman. This is where you will find the definitive list of currently available methods for our \nmovie, tv, actor, and image API. If you need help or support, please \nhead over to our [API support forum](https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/category/5047958519c29526b50017d6).\n\nTo register for an API key, click the [API link](https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api) from within your account settings page.\n\n# Authentication\n\nTo authenticate this API in Postman:\n\n- Open Postman and create a new request for the endpoint you want to access.\n- Set the request method (GET, POST, etc.) and enter the URL**.**\n \n\n\n\n- Go to the **Authorization** tab in the request builder.\n- Select the **Bearer Token** from the dropdown\n \n\n\n\n# Rate Limiting\n\nWhile our legacy rate limits(40 requests every 10 seconds) have been disabled for some time, we do still have some upper limits to help mitigate needlessly high bulk scraping. They sit somewhere in the 50 requests per second range. This limit could change at any time so be respectful of the service we have built and respect the `429` if you receive one.\n\n# Notes\n\n### A few useful tips...\n\n- The [configuration](https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/configuration-details) methods are useful to get the static lists of data we use throughout the database.\n - You can find things like the languages, countries, timezones and \n translations that we use. The configuration method also holds useful \n image
