Readme

OMDb Movie Showcase

A small WordPress plugin that lets visitors search a movie by title and see its details (poster, plot, cast, ratings) pulled from the OMDb API.

Setup

  1. Upload and activate the plugin.
  2. Open Settings > OMDb Movie Showcase and paste your OMDb API key (a free one is available at omdbapi.com).
  3. Add the "Movie Search" block to any page or post and publish.

The API key is only used server-side. The block talks to the plugin's own REST route (omdb-movie-showcase/v1/search), which calls OMDb, so the key is never printed on the page.
