poster-service

This service is responsible for returning urls of movie poster images for a specific IMDb id. It acts as a middleware and talks directly to https://www.omdbapi.com/. From there it fetches the poster-url and returns it.

Development

This service depends on the following:

• GitHub Access Token that can read packages (read:packages)
• API key for www.omdbapi.com (.env file created from .env.template)

GitHub Access Token NPM registry

As we are using a library provided by our organization kwiz-utils. For npm to find the package, do the following:

• Login to Github Package Registry using npm login --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com and your credentials. Any provided access token will need at least the repo and read:packages scope.

After that, npm install should run without any problems.

Add API Key to .env file

• create a .env file based on .env.template
• add an API-KEY for https://www.omdbapi.com/ (you can create one here)
  • the API-KEY is already set on GitHub for the actions

Local Development with micro-dev

npm run dev

This will start the micro HTTP service on PORT 3002.
