Movie Checker

Screenshot

Movie Checker is a Telegram bot that helps you quickly check basic movie information, such as release date, runtime or cast and crew members. It also gives you links to external websites like TMDb, IMDb and Letterboxd for additional details. Open a chat with @MovieCheckerBot on Telegram to try it out.

Technology

The bot is built with Node.js and a few libraries to help with various things: Slimbot for the bot itself, MovieDB for fetching movie data and date-fns for manipulating JavaScript dates. Babel is used for transpiling. The bot is deployed with Zeit's Now.

Acknowledgments

All movie information comes from the TMDb API, which is pretty great and free to use. The bot icon is just EmojiOne's film projector emoji with TMDb's green accent color as background.
