I have a similar use-case to https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/5f5b7579629b2c0037c28933 - I am creating an educational example(movies browser) of a GUI library that I am contributing to, and I want to use a small subset of data that I've extracted from the API. By data I mean the JSON response of LIST Movies, LIST TV Shows, Person details, Movie details and TV show details of v3 API. In general I will have around ~20 movies and ~20 tv shows and the actors that are in the cast for them. The images will still be loaded from TMDB API.
The project is open-source, so I cannot just add my API key in there(I see some other open-source projects are doing that, but I want to avoid it). However, in my case I do not need the data to be updated real time, i.e. I extract the JSON data today and it never changes(except for images because they will be fetched from the API every time).
So in other words, I want to store the subset of data I've extracted and put it in github. When a user runs the movies example, they still have to go through the TMDB API to load the images, but they do not need to provide an API key. Of course I will follow the attribution requirements mentioned in the FAQ. Am I allowed to do this?

I just read the terms of use again - it clearly states you cannot cache the data for more than 6 months, so it is NOT allowed to do that.

no, don't publish your key on a GitHub project
