Project Overview

The myFlix API is a RESTful backend service developed to power the myFlix web application. It provides users with access to an extensive database of movie information, including details on movies, directors, genres, and more.

Technology Stack

This API is built using Node.js and Express, ensuring a robust and scalable server-side application. MongoDB serves as the database, enabling efficient storage and retrieval of movie-related data.

Core Features

• User Authentication & Authorization: Implements secure user registration, login, and profile management using JWT (JSON Web Token) for authentication.
• Comprehensive Movie Data: Provides detailed information on movies, including director bios, genre descriptions, and more.
• Favorite Movies Management: Allows users to curate and manage their own list of favorite movies.
• Data Validation and Error Handling: Ensures that all inputs are validated and errors are handled gracefully to improve user experience and maintain data integrity.

Security

Incorporates industry-standard security practices, including password hashing with bcrypt, data encryption, and secure API endpoints, to protect user data and ensure privacy.

API Documentation

Thoroughly documented endpoints with Swagger, offering easy-to-understand guides for developers integrating with the API.

Deployment

The myFlix API is deployed on a cloud platform, ensuring high availability, scalability, and reliability for end-users.
