The proposed project aims to build a movie recommender system using Python, leveraging the TMDB API to fetch movie metadata from 1980 until 2023. The TMDB (The Movie Database) is an online database that provides comprehensive information related to movies, TV shows, and other forms of visual media.
Movie recommendation systems have gained popularity in recent years due to the overwhelming number of movies available for viewers to choose from. The rise of streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime has made it difficult for viewers to decide which movie to watch. Thus, to address this issue, we have decided to develop a project that utilizes TMDB's API, which provides readily available movie metadata, as a solution for movie selection dilemmas.

- Jupyter Notebook installed in your local machine
- Open a terminal window and navigate to the local directory where you want to clone the repository:
cd <repository-name>- Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/c3sk/movierecommender.git- Launch Jupyter Notebook by running the following command:
jupyter notebook
- In the Jupyter Notebook interface, navigate to the project's directory and open the notebook file (
movie_recommender.ipynb). - Once the notebook is open, follow the instructions and run the code cells in sequence to reproduce the results.
This project was created by a team of three programmers:
- Francesc Vilaró (@c3sk): Contributed mainly to the database creation and data fetching.
- Berta Pfaff (@BertaPfaff): Contributed mainly to the exploratory data analysis and data visualization sections of the project.
- Sergio Salvador (@Sersal10): Implemented the machine learning model.
We would like to thank our colleagues and mentors for their support and feedback throughout the project. Special thanks to Luciano Gabanelli (@LuchoGabba) for supervising the execution of this project.
