Hello,
I'm working on a simple app for my programming course and I require some help - hopefully you can help me. I would like to use your API, but I get lost reading the documentation. Anyhow, this is the piece of code that I'm currently working on:
handleInputChange = (event) => {
this.setState({
inputField: event.target.value
});
}
handleBtnClick = (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
const url = 'https://api.tvmaze.com/singlesearch/shows?q='+this.state.inputField.split(' ').join('+');
this.fetchShow(url);
console.log(url);
}
fetchShow(url){ fetch(url).then((res) => res.json()).then((data) => { this.setState({ tvId: data.id, genres: data.genres, name: data.name, url: data.url, image: data.image.original, rating: data.rating.average, })
console.log(this.state.tvId, this.state.genres, this.state.name, this.state.url, this.state.image, this.state.rating);
})
}
As you can see, I'm currently using a different API, but it's options are very limited. How, compared to what I wrote, can I find a tv show, get it's title, image, imdb rating, genre and id using your api? As in, what would the url look like for my code to work?
Second question might be a bit more complicated. You see, what I want to do, is (after finding a tv show using search ), to allow the user to find 1 more show(onClick) that share it's genre/genres (1-3). After that the user gets to see another show based on the one that he clicked, and so on, and so on "ad infinitum". Can you help me in finding a method on how to do that? How do I find tv shows based on genre using your API? I could then substitute genre with a variable that equals the genre of the primary search result.
I really hope you can help me. Your API looks great, but like I said, I find it hard to use. Thanks
edit: I have a key :)

I believe this document mostly outlines what you are trying to. It's using the movie method and search, but all you have to do is swap those out for the TV methods.
Two different approaches. First, to do what you're asking, you can tap into TV discover for this. Let's say you pull Doctor Who (id 57243) and get it's genre ids:
10759
,18
,10765
.You can then make a call like so (comma separate are an 'AND' query):
But, this seems like a good use case for recommendations, in which case you can just make one call to get the details and recommendations by using
append_to_response
:You'll see a
recommendations
object is now part of the response, with a list of shows that are similar.Contestado por PokerTuna
