api-imbgo

API that allows consumers to access the movies data. Most of the queries will be against local database but you can use imdb npm package (​ https://godoc.org/github.com/eefret/gomdb​ ) to query for movies when data isn’t available in the local database and store it for future reference. Movie object in database will have following properties as well as movie object in response of the apis:

• title
• released year

• id
• genres (array of strings)
