About This Collection App

MovieScout lets users search TMDb's (The Movie Database) API and add movies to a shared public and personal collection. Each result displays the original title, release date, average rating, synopsis, and poster image. Selecting "add to collection" stores the movie in MovieScoutDB, and your choices now persists when the Page resets.

Creating a profile lets you keep a personal collection, mark favorite movies, and view your profile details. Admin users can also browse all user accounts and every saved collection item.


API Data Source
