How to use movie-metadata with the Command-Line Interface (CLI).

Note: Assuming that movie-metadata is globally installed

Example

$ getmetadata --key YOUR_API_KEY  /Users/me/moviesList.json

This will create a moviesList-metadata.json and moviesList-notfound.json file in the /Users/me/ directory. The moviesList-metadata.json file will contain an Array of Objects containing each movies respective metadata fetched from omdb's API server.

Note: The moviesList-notfound.json file is only created if some movies in the list were not found on the omdb API server.
