Example how to use the API v3 of "The Movie Database" (themoviedb.org). Saves all available posters for the movie with IMDb id tt0095016 to the current folder, using the maximum available resolution.

Is it possible for anyone to fork this script to just downlead posters from the upcoming TMDB section

Hers is the API call.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/upcoming?api_key='yourapikey'

Hers is the API call.

Very straightforward, just look at the JSON response for the API request. Each entry has a poster_path which works like the file_path in the original Gist. For example:

import requests
 
API_KEY = "..."
 
""" get the config for the image base path and available sizes """
url = f"http://api.themoviedb.org/3/configuration?api_key={API_KEY}"
r = requests.get(url)
config = r.json()
base_url = config['images']['base_url']
sizes = config['images']['poster_sizes']

""" get upcoming movies """
url = f"https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/upcoming?api_key={API_KEY}"
r = requests.get(url)
data = r.json()
 
""" download the poster in the best quality (last element in sizes
for the last 5 movies """
for r in data["results"][:5]:
    poster_path = r["poster_path"]
    url = base_url + sizes[-1] + poster_path 
    r = requests.get(url)
    with open(poster_path.strip("/"), "wb") as w:
        w.write(r.content)

Perfect thank you. Russ
