The Movie API is a RESTful web service that allows users to manage and retrieve information about movies and genres. This API is built using ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core, providing a robust and extensible platform for movie-related operations.
Movie Management: Create, read, update, and delete movies. Genre Management: Create, read, update, and delete genres. Filtering: Get movies by genre. Swagger Documentation: Interactive API documentation using Swagger. JWT Authentication: Secure endpoints using JWT Bearer authentication. Database Integration: Store movie and genre data in an SQL Server database. Data Validation: Implement data validation using DataAnnotations. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS): Allow requests from any origin. Getting Started Prerequisites Before running the project, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:
