The Movie Database Support

Hello,

I'm the author of Bogus, a popular fake data generator for C#. Main repo for Bogus is here: https://github.com/bchavez/Bogus. Bogus is a tool for developers to create mock-up UIs and populate databases with fake data for testing purposes.

I recently had a user request to add Movies and TV series support to Bogus here: https://github.com/bchavez/Bogus/issues/123

I would like to use a sample of The Movie DB's data for Bogus. The sample size would probably be around 1,000 random movies and TV data since I have to keep assembly sizes between 1-2MB. The sample data would include poster images and various data about the movie (summaries, genre, year, etc). The 1000 random sample data would be packaged inside an assembly resource (IE: packed inside a .DLL) and would not require an internet connection to generate move or TV data. So, no network requests will ever be made to themovedb.org when developers generate random sample movie and TV data with Bogus.

I plan on making this the "Move and TV Series" extension library a paid extension. The extension will probably include other random data that I source/create from other places, like random reviews, not found here.

I just wanted to see if the author of this site would be okay with this. If not it's cool, maybe someone has suggestions to source movie/tv data from a different source? maybe freebase?

Thanks, Brian

Hey Brian,

Ya, that's fine. Kaggle does this as well. Just make sure the data is properly attributed to TMDb and you're good to go.
