OmdbGateway

Omdb_gateway is a rubygem to fetch the movie information, all content and images on the IMDB site (http://www.omdbapi.com) which are contributed and maintained by IMDB users.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omdb_gateway'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install omdb_gateway

Next, you need to run the generator:

$ rails generate omdb_gateway:install

Generator will create a config/initializers/omdb.yml file where you can provide your api key or token (generated from omdb).

Omdb_Gateway provides different methods to fetch the data from OMDB. For example, find_by_id, find_by_title, find_by.

require 'omdb_gateway'

OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by_id('tt7363076')

OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by_title('Raid')

OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by(id: 'tt7363076')

OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by(title: 'Raid')

=> <OmdbGateway::Response:0x00007fa51293f6c0 @title="Raid", @year="2018", @rated="NOT ...
    
OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by_id('tt7363076', format: :json)

OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by_title('Raid', format: :json)

OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by(id: 'tt7363076', format: :json)
    
=> {"Title"=>"Raid", "Year"=>"2018", "Rated"=>"NOT RATED", "Released"=>"16 Mar ...

OmdbGateway takes other parameters too. For example, year, plot, format. Default values are plot: 'short', format: 'json'.

OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by_id('tt7363076', year: 2018, plot: :full, format: :xml)
    
OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by_title('Raid', year: 2018, plot: :full, format: :xml)

OmdbGateway::Movie.find_by(id: 'tt7363076', year: 2018, plot: :full, format: :xml)

=> "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><root response=\"True\"><movie title=\..."

OmdbGateway also provides search to query.

OmdbGateway::Search.query('Batman')

OmdbGateway::Search.query('Batman', page: 2)

OmdbGateway::Search.query('Batman', page: 1, year: 2018, plot: :full, api_version: 1)

=> <OmdbGateway::CollectionResponse:0x00007feb56f7e0b0 @result=[#<OmdbGateway::Response:0x00007feb56f7e038 @title="Batman: The Killing Joke" ...

OmdbGateway::Search.query('Batman', page: 1, format: :xml)
