A client for The Movie Database (TMDb) API v3, version 0.1.7. This package provides methods to search movies, TV shows, seasons, and episodes using pagination or by ID. It uses callbacks and is intended for server-side Node.js. Notable limitations: only basic querying is supported; many API endpoints are omitted. The package is no longer actively maintained and has been deprecated in favor of more complete alternatives like tmdb or moviedb.
