Astra DB Integration

This version uses DataStax Astra DB (a vector database) instead of directly calling the TMDB API.

Files Created

  • netlify/functions/astra.js - Netlify function that queries Astra DB
  • main_astra.js - Frontend JavaScript for Astra DB version
  • index_astra.html - HTML page for Astra DB version

Setup

  1. Create an Astra DB database at https://astra.datastax.com/

  2. Create a collection named movie_data in the movies keyspace

  3. Get your credentials:

    • Database ID
    • Region
    • Application Token

  4. Update .env file with your Astra credentials:

    ASTRA_DB_ID=your_database_id
ASTRA_DB_REGION=your_region
ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN=your_token
ASTRA_DB_KEYSPACE=movies

  5. Load movie data into Astra DB with this structure:

    {
  "tmdb_id": 550,
  "title": "Fight Club",
  "overview": "...",
  "poster_path": "/...",
  "release_date": "1999-10-15",
  "runtime": 139,
  "vote_average": 8.4,
  "popularity": 45.3,
  "genres": [
    {"id": 18, "name": "Drama"}
  ],
  "cast": [
    {"id": 287, "name": "Brad Pitt"}
  ],
  "keywords": [
    {"id": 825, "name": "support group"}
  ]
}

API Endpoints

The astra.js function supports these actions:

  • search - Full-text search across titles, overviews, genres, cast, keywords
  • discover - Filter by genres, cast, keywords (AND logic)
  • get - Get a specific movie by TMDB ID
  • suggestions - Autocomplete for people, genres, keywords

Usage

Access the Astra version at: http://localhost:8888/index_astra.html

The original TMDB version remains at: http://localhost:8888/
