The Movie Database Support

Hello, I need help, I’m interested in this question, I want to make an application using the API and put it on Google Play, without advertising or any kind of profit, I’m only interested in users having a convenient application, and I have work in my portfolio that I can show to employers. Won't they scold me for this? Or is it better to look for another API?

No problem.
There are numerous APPs and Websites using TMDb data.
Just remember to give TMDb credit for the data and images you will use.
Normally, you just need to inform it on the home page of your APP.
See our FAQ here
https://www.themoviedb.org/faq/website
"How can I use the data?"
"Can I use your logo?"
Unfortunately, the page with APPs that use TMDb data is currently down.
But the Logos page is here:
https://www.themoviedb.org/about/logos-attribution

Furthermore, when requesting an API Key, these are the options shown:
Developer

  • You are an individual
  • Your project is still in development
  • Your project is non profit
  • Your project is ad supported

Professional

  • You represent a company
  • Your project is for profit (not ad supported)
  • You are an OEM or hardware vendor

So I don't see any problems ahead.
