Before we open up the API of Responder and start writing code with it I want to give you a quick tour of what we're going to build.
0:09
We're going to rebuild this service the Movie Db service from Talk Python. You know this is a demo type of API that I took and built long ago
0:20
for another one of my courses. It allows you to search for movies so here you can see we're searching for "run" and we search for say "job"
0:28
we get, you know The Italian Job and things like that. So, we have this nice API here that we can work with.
0:34
We have this sort of landing page here at the front and you can also search by director or even pull up the details
0:39
of an individual movie by IMDB code. So, we're going to take the data backend for this which is really a Python file and just like a simple CSV
0:48
and we're going to recreate this in Responder. This one is actually running Pyramid on one of my servers but for our demo, we're going to take this
0:57
and just recreate the same concept using the same data source with Responder. Should be a lot of fun and you can check this thing out here of course
1:05
or just check out the after code as we go through it.
