Project: Movie Recommendations Mashup by Mona Dastar

This project involves mashing up data from two different APIs, TasteDive and OMDB, to make movie recommendations. The TasteDive API allows querying related items based on a movie (or bands, TV shows, etc.), while the OMDB API provides data about movies, including scores from various review sites. Project Overview

The main tasks of this project include:

Fetching TasteDive results for a given movie or title.
Extracting movie titles from TasteDive data.
Retrieving related titles for a list of movie titles.
Fetching movie data from the OMDB API.
Retrieving the Rotten Tomatoes rating from movie data.
Generating sorted movie recommendations based on Rotten Tomatoes ratings.
