The Movie Database Support

I've read almost every post I can find on here about caching the TMDB's data, but none of them say how to do it. (Because everyone knows what they're talking about.) Is there an "ELI5 Guide to Caching the TMDB"? Like from Step 1, with all the how, what, and where. I'd like to have some info web-based, possibly on WordPress. Insights appreciated!

Hi @lazysupper,

No such guide from us, as everybody's architecture, app and requirements is going to be different. There's a few different ways you could do it, depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

One way, would be to cache requests locally. Most programming languages have libraries that will let you cache HTTP requests, like a proxy.

Another way could be, to look at standing up a local service layer with something like Nginx or HAProxy.

And lastly, another way could be to create your own local schema, and as your make requests, you start writing the data to your local database in a schema that matches your application.

Lots of different way to do this, just depends what you're trying to accomplish.

Thanks @travisbell. That puts things in much better perspective for me!
