Hi !
I'm using the TMBD api and I want to display the poster of a movie. However, the api returns only the end of the URL of the poster (for example : /4MpN4kIEqUjW8OPtOQJXlTdHiJV.jpg). How can I automatically add the beggining of the URL to this path (in my case : https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original) to have the complete link (https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/4MpN4kIEqUjW8OPtOQJXlTdHiJV.jpg) in order to display the poster in my app ?
I hope I'm clear enough,
Thanks !

Probably sounds over-engineering, but I am thinking that maybe you can use Make or napkin to proxy the requests and put some logic to manipulate the url string.
Maybe can think on some solutions
Thanks for your answer !
To be honest it seems harder than I would have expected but I will have a look on these solutions.
Maybe you can use a simple "database" where you can store those links?
For an example, you can create a list of all the movies you want to include in your app, call the TMBD API, and then store the last part of the link in there.
Once you have a list of movies and the ending of the URLs to the posters, you can create a simple formula which would add the prefix of the URL.
This all can easily be done in Airtable.
I just tried Napkin and it totaly fits what I wanted to do and even more !
Thanks for your kind answers !
Awesome ! 🎉 Could you share how you made it just to let the community know?
