Movies API (GraphQL and REST)

Overview

Welcome to the movies-api repository! This open-source project provides a comprehensive API (both GraphQL and RESTful) for accessing a wide range of movie data. Whether you're looking for a specific title or exploring different genres, our API makes it easy to access the information you need.

Features

• GraphQL & RESTful API: Two ways to interact with our movie database.
• Bearer Token Authorization: Secure access to our API endpoints.
• Extensive Movie Data: Access a wide range of movie information.

Getting Started

Base URL

The base URL for our API is https://0kadddxyh3.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. All endpoints are prefixed with this base URL.

Obtaining an Access Token

To use our API, first, obtain a bearer token:

1. Send a GET request to /auth/token.
2. Use this token in the Authorization header of your subsequent API calls.

Setting Up the GraphQL Sandbox

1. Open the GraphQL sandbox endpoint and click on the connection settings

2. Update the headers by adding the Authorization bearer token
