# Movie Marathon - Hard

## Summary

The problem is to give you the name of a movie with the year of production,
your task is to find 5 actors playing in that movie!

## Solve

+ To solve this problem, I went online to search for APIs that might be related to movies and luckily I found a youtube page that shows how to get data through the API. That is [movidb](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf45f5cW6c4)

+ And after a while of searching, I found 2 important APIs to solve this problem: The first is the API to find the movie's ID through the movie name and the second is to find the actor list through the movie ID.

+ And when you find the necessary APIs, your only job is to call the API, process the data, and interact with the server to get the flag.

+ Here is the source code to get the flag that I have coded

```py
