Implemented a simple API that fetches movie data using the OMDB API.

To run this project, you will need to add a .env file to the root of this project and the following environment variables to your .env file:

• API_KEY

• PORT

Create and activate a virtual environment

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

To deploy this project run

  docker-compose up

The app will be running at http://localhost:8000 (or whatever port you used in the PORT variable).

Query

query getMovies {
  getMovie(title: "Harry Potter", first: 2) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        imdbID
        Title
        Type
        Poster
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
    }
  }
}

Expected Result

  "data": {
    "getMovie": {
      "edges": [
        {

  }
}

I decided to use Strawberry instead of Graphene since it is the recommended library as per FastAPI documentation.

While working on this project, one of the steps was applying Pagination to the query. I quickly realized that Strawberry's documentation had many errors and their tutorial did not work. I spent some time on this issue and was able to fix.

I ended up opening a PR request w/ Strawberry to fix their documentation.

• Cursor Pagination does not work # 2544

The moral of the story is that with one simple project I ended up contributing to an open-source project (albeit a very small contribution) and perhaps helping someone use this library.
