|
|
|
A near-complete wrapper for v3 of TMDb's API (TheMovieDb - https://www.themoviedb.org/).
|
|
|
|
## Using alpha packages
|
|
All commits to master produce an Alpha package that can be [found here](https://github.com/LordMike/TMDbLib/packages/691970). [Read more on how to use these packages](https://blog.mbwarez.dk/consuming-my-nuget-packages-from-github/).

Documentation
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Most of the library is self-explaining, and closely follows the possibilities at the official TMDb documentation site: [developers.themoviedb.org](https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started).
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Simple example, getting the basic info for "A good day to die hard".
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
TMDbClient client = new TMDbClient("APIKey");
|
|
Movie movie = client.GetMovieAsync(47964).Result;
|
|
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"Movie name: {movie.Title}");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using the extra features of TMDb, we can fetch more info in one go (here we fetch casts as well as trailers):
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
TMDbClient client = new TMDbClient("APIKey");
|
|
Movie movie = await client.GetMovieAsync(47964, MovieMethods.Credits | MovieMethods.Videos);
|
|
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"Movie title: {movie.Title}");
|
|
foreach (Cast cast in movie.Credits.Cast)
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"{cast.Name} - {cast.Character}");
|
|
|
|
Console.WriteLine();
|
|
foreach (Video video in movie.Videos.Results)
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"Trailer: {video.Type} ({video.Site}), {video.Name}");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is likewise simple to search for people or movies, for example here we search for "007". This yields basically every James Bond film ever made:
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
TMDbClient client = new TMDbClient("APIKey");
|
|
SearchContainer<SearchMovie> results = client.SearchMovieAsync("007").Result;
|
|
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"Got {results.Results.Count:N0} of {results.TotalResults:N0} results");
|
|
foreach (SearchMovie result in results.Results)
|
|
Console.WriteLine(result.Title);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
However, another way to get all James Bond movies, is to use the collection-approach. TMDb makes collections for series of movies, such as Die Hard and James Bond. I know there is one, so I will show how to search for the collection, and then list all movies in it:
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
TMDbClient client = new TMDbClient("APIKey");
|
|
SearchContainer<SearchCollection> collectons = client.SearchCollectionAsync("James Bond").Result;
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"Got {collectons.Results.Count:N0} collections");
|
|
|
|
Collection jamesBonds = client.GetCollectionAsync(collectons.Results.First().Id).Result;
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"Collection: {jamesBonds.Name}");
|
|
Console.WriteLine();
|
|
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"Got {jamesBonds.Parts.Count:N0} James Bond Movies");
|
|
foreach (SearchMovie part in jamesBonds.Parts)
|
|
Console.WriteLine(part.Title);
|
|
```
|

|
Tips
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* All methods are `async` and awaitable
|
|
* Most methods are very straightforward, and do as they are named, `GetMovie`, `GetPerson` etc.
|
|
* Almost all enums are of the `[Flags]` type. This means you can combine them: `MovieMethods.Casts | MovieMethods.Trailers`
|
|
* TMDb are big fans of serving as little as possible, so most properties on primary classes like `Movie` are null, until you request the extra data using the enums like above.
