What is pipi?

Pipi is a simple API that parses amazon prime movie pages and returns a json representation for it. When a client requests a movie title, pipi will make a background request, fetch the respective amazon prime movie pages, parse it and give back a valid json result to the client.

The request path should be always: http://localhost:8080/movie/amazon/{amazon_id}. when using amazon_id B00K19SD8Q the result will be:
