The Movie Place

The Movie Place! application uses an API to extract movie data using URL requests and displays the relevant retrieved data from the API on to the GUI.

API used:

The OMDb API is a RESTful web service to obtain movie information. By default all OMDb API responses are formatted as JSON. However, OMDb API also supports responses formatted as XML.

Libraries used:

• tkinter - to design the GUI
• pillow (PIL) - to make images compatible with tk GUI
• io - to encode and use images from URL
• requests - to request and read data from the API response
• urllib - to request and read data from the API response
• socket - to configure connections
• json - to load and retrieve required fields from the API response

Screenshots 📷 :

The first window that shows up is where you enter the name of the movie whose info you want to display on the GUI.

Suppose I enter avatar in the entry field,

If the movie is found, the response is sent and the GUI looks like this,

If the entered movie is not found, it is notified in the GUI using a validation message,

Also, at times there might be some issues connecting to the API service, in that case you get a message to resumbit, where you just need to click the SUBMIT button again

• Data is available in JSON, XML, or HTML format

• io - to encode and use images from URL
• requests - to request and read data from the API response
• urllib - to request and read data from the API response

Working of The Weather App

The first window that shows up is where you enter the name of the location.

If the location is found in the API, the weather data is returned.

If the location you entered is not found, the GUI shows a relevant message.

Also, at times there might be some issues connecting to the API service, in that case you get a message to resumbit, where you just need to click the Submit button again.

The following shows a working example of The Weather App
