Express Movie API w/ OPENAI

This project is an Express.js API designed to manage a collection of movies, featuring integration with OpenAI's powerful AI models. It provides endpoints for CRUD operations on movies as well as AI-driven movie recommendations.

Installation

To run this code, you need to have Node.js and MongoDB installed on your machine. Then, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install the dependencies by running npm install.
3. In the project root, create a .env file to store your private keys securely.
4. Include your MongoDB connection key and OPENAI API key in the .env file.

.env file format:

MONGO_CONNECTION_KEY=your_mongodb_connection_key
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key

5. Start the server by running npm start.

Usage

Once the server is running, you can use the following endpoints to interact with the API:

• POST /api/movies: Add a new movie.

  {
    "movie_name": required <String>,
    "rating": required <Number>, // Must be a number between 1 and 10
    "info": required <String>,
    "description": required <String>
  }

• GET /api/movies: Get all movies.
• GET /api/movies/:movie_id: Get a single movie by ID.
• PATCH /api/movies: Edit a movie.

 {
   "movie_name": "New Movie Title",
   "rating": "New Rating",
   "info": "Updated Information",
   "description": "New Description"
 }

• DELETE /api/movies/:movie_id: Delete a movie.

Additionally, there is an OpenAI endpoint available:

• GET /api/movies/openai/getRecommendations: Get movie recommendations using OpenAI.

Error Handling

The code uses the express-async-errors package for handling asynchronous errors. The errorHandler middleware is used to handle any errors that occur during the request processing.

Database Connection

The code connects to MongoDB using the provided MONGO_CONNECTION_KEY environment variable. If the connection is successful, it logs a success message; otherwise, it logs a failure message.

Server

The server listens on port 8000. Once the server is started, it logs a message indicating the server is running.
