- **Lightweight**: Minimal dependencies and tree-shakeable to keep your project lean.
- **Comprehensive**: Covers all major endpoints: movies, TV, search, trending, and configuration.
- **Clean Errors**: Provides structured, useful errors for easier debugging.

```typescript
import { TMDB } from "@vo1x/tmdb";

const tmdb = new TMDB({
  apiKey: process.env.TMDB_API_KEY!, // Get a key at [https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api](https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api)
});

// Get movie details
const movie = await tmdb.movies.get(550); // Fight Club
console.log(`${movie.title} (${movie.releaseDate}) - ${movie.voteAverage}/10`);

// Search for movies
const searchResults = await tmdb.search.movies("inception");
console.log(`Found ${searchResults.totalResults} movies.`);
```

try {
  await tmdb.movies.get(999999999); // Invalid ID
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof TMDBError) {
    console.error(`Error ${error.status}: ${error.message}`);
    // error.code contains the TMDb-specific error code
  }
}
```
