Movielens with Django Rest Framework KataΒΆ

The goal of this kata is to create a browasble API as an interface to the MovieLens database.

Download the small MovieLens database from https://grouplens.org/datasets/movielens/latest/ and examine the content of the files. We are interested in movies.csv and links.csv files.

Following are the requirements for this kata:

  1. Django application with Movie and MovieLink models exists

  2. The application model support movie genres from the genres column of movies.csv file

  3. User can import movies.csv into the Movie model using cli

  4. User can import links.csv into the MovieLink model using cli

  5. The api/movies/ REST API returns a list of all movies, e.g.

    [
  {
      "movie_id": 1,
      "genres": [
          "Adventure",
          "Animation",
          "Children",
          "Comedy",
          "Fantasy"
      ],
      "links": [
          "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114709",
          "https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/862"
      ],
      "title": "Toy Story (1995)"
  },
  {
      "movie_id": 2,
      "genres": [
          "Adventure",
          "Children",
          "Fantasy"
      ],
      "links": [
          "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113497",
          "https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/8844"
      ],
      "title": "Jumanji (1995)"
  }
]

  6. The movies API response is paginated

  7. The movies API can filter the result and return only movies which title includes given string
