Hello everyone,
I’m excited to share my very first project I've been working on: the Movie Data Fetcher/HTML Generator. This tool scrapes movie data using The Movie Database(TMDB) API and automates the creation of HTML files for movie details using data from a JSON file.
I’m looking forward to any feedback or suggestions you might have. Feel free to check out the project and let me know what you think!
