TMDb metadata from the terminal

Setup

Create credentials at TMDb API settings. Prefer the API Read Access Token:

export TMDB_ACCESS_TOKEN="YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
# Or use the v3 key: export TMDB_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

The CLI sends either Authorization: Bearer $TMDB_ACCESS_TOKEN or ?api_key=$TMDB_API_KEY. Both forms have the same v3 access level; configure only one. --help and --dry-run do not need credentials.
