README

This bundle wraps the TheTVDB API client in a Symfony2 service, making it easy to with integrate the excellent TheTVDB.com database in your Symfony application.

TheTVDB.com is an open database with a lot of TV related data and graphics, added by its members. Like a niche Wikipedia with an API! You need to register for an API key before you can use the service.

TobiassjostenTheTVDBBundle was initially developed for use in Smartburk.se.

    }
}

Now tell Composer to download the bundle by running the command:

$ php composer.phar update tobiassjosten/thetvdb-bundle

Composer will install the bundle to your project's vendor/tobiassjosten directory.

    );
