Empty (null) GET consuming the imDb API

Time:06-12

I had the problem that couldn't GET anything, now I get something but it's completely empty (null). And one more thing, if this is solved with the GET, how can I manage this page with HTML, so for example display the text nicely etc.?

The Code is here:

Class Appcontroller:

@RestController //Das hier ist ein RestController
@RequestMapping (method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = { "application/json; charset=utf-8" })
@JsonFormat(with = JsonFormat.Feature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY)


public class AppController {

    @Autowired
    private RestTemplate restTemplate;

    private static String url = "https://imdb-api.com/en/API/Top250Movies/k_1kz039kt";
    
    @GetMapping("/top250movies")
    public List<Response> getTop250Movies(){
        final Response top250movies= restTemplate.getForObject(url, Response.class);
    return Arrays.asList(top250movies);
    }
}

Class MainApplication:

@SpringBootApplication

public class MainApplication {

    @Bean
    public RestTemplate getRestTemplate() {
        return new RestTemplate();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MainApplication.class, args);
    }
}

Class Response:

package ch.emin.m226;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.ui.Model;

public class Response {

    private List<Object> items;
    
    public String rank;
    public String title;
    public String fullTitle;
    public String year;
    public String image;
    public String crew;
    public String imDbRating;
    public String imDbRatingCount;

    public Response(){
        
    }

    public Response(String rank, String title, String fullTitle, String year, String image, String crew, String imDbRating, String imDbRatingCount) {
        this.rank = rank;
        this.title = title;
        this.fullTitle = fullTitle;
        this.year = year;
        this.image = image;
        this.crew = crew;
        this.imDbRating = imDbRating;
        this.imDbRatingCount = imDbRatingCount;

    }
    public String getRank() {
        return rank;
    }
    public void setRank(String rank) {
        this.rank = rank;
    }
    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }
    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }
    public String getFullTitle() {
        return fullTitle;
    }
    public void setFullTitle(String fullTitle) {
        this.fullTitle = fullTitle;
    }
    public String getYear() {
        return year;
    }
    public void setYear(String year) {
        this.year = year;
    }
    public String getImage() {
        return image;
    }
    public void setImage(String image) {
        this.image = image;
    }
    public String getCrew() {
        return crew;
    }
    public void setCrew(String crew) {
        this.crew = crew;
    }
    public String imDbRating() {
        return imDbRating;
    }
    public void imDbRating(String imDbRating) {
        this.imDbRating = imDbRating;
    }
    public String imDbRatingCount() {
        return imDbRatingCount;
    }
    public void imDbRatingCount(String imDbRatingCount) {
        this.imDbRatingCount = imDbRatingCount;
    }
    

    
}

And thats what I get on the Browser:

[
  {
    "rank": null,
    "title": null,
    "fullTitle": null,
    "year": null,
    "image": null,
    "crew": null,
    "imDbRating": null,
    "imDbRatingCount": null
  }
]

After provided fix:

Whitelabel Error Page

CodePudding user response:

The response schema that imdb provides is a json object with list of items which will map to details of each of the movies.

One way -> Create class ResponseWrapper which has List items. And map that Responsewrapper.class with rest template.

Another way -> You will have to manually map with object mapper and all.

final ResponseWrapper top250movies= restTemplate.getForObject(url, ResponseWrapper.class);
@Getter
@Setter
@Builder //Lombok annotations
public class ResponseWrapper{
  private List<Response> items;
}

// Or try just basic getters and setters without any lombok annotation.
