Movies API Backend Project
An Express movies API with authentication, movies, reviews, watchlists, validation, and database-backed routes.
Project idea
Movies API is a backend-focused project. Its value is in the service layer: routes for movies, authentication, reviews, and watchlists. The visual media is intentionally a single API-oriented cover because the owner approved this project as an API-only visual exception.
What the screenshots show
The gallery has one image only: content/media/projects/movies-api/cover.webp. It is not treated as a missing UI gallery; it documents the backend nature of the project until a separate API documentation visual policy is introduced.
Technical notes
Source review confirmed an Express application using validation, JWT authentication, bcrypt, Sequelize, and SQLite. The repository includes controllers, models, and routes for auth, movies, reviews, and watchlists.
Portfolio value
The project complements the interface-heavy work by showing API design, route organization, validation, data modeling, and authenticated backend flows.
