This repository contains code for a Movie Genre API that predicts the genre of a movie based on its description. It uses a pre-trained model stored in the model-new.pt file.

Before running the API, make sure that the model-new.pt file is present in the project directory. If it is not available, you can build the model by running the model_building.ipynb notebook or simply download from the below google drive link Link for built model

To create a Docker container for the API, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the directory containing the Dockerfile.

3. Build the Docker image using the following command:

   docker build -t movie_genre-api .
   

To run the API server inside a Docker container, use the following command:

docker run -p 8000:8000 movie_genre-api

The API server will start and listen on port 8000.

You can use the following curl command to get the genre of a movie by providing its description:

curl -d "description=A movie about 5 comedians who are on a trip to las vegas" -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/analyze

Make sure to replace 127.0.0.1:8000 with the appropriate address if running the API server on a different machine.

The response will contain the predicted genre of the movie.
