# TMDb Attributes

Configuring [TheMovieDb](https://www.themoviedb.org/) is required in order to run Kometa. 

A `tmdb` mapping is in the root of the config file.

Below is a `tmdb` mapping example and the full set of attributes:
```yaml
tmdb:
  apikey: ################################
  language: en
  region: US
  cache_expiration: 60
```

| Attribute          | Allowed Values                                                                                                                                                                    | Default |                  Required                  |
