MovieCollection.OpenMovieDatabase 4.0.2

Open Movie Database API

Unofficial implementation of the Open Movie Database API for .NET

Installation

You can install this package via the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio.

Install-Package MovieCollection.OpenMovieDatabase

Configuration

Get or create a new static HttpClient instance if you don't have one already.

// HttpClient lifecycle management best practices:
// https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/fundamentals/networking/http/httpclient-guidelines#recommended-use
private static readonly HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();

Then, you need to set your api key and pass it to the service's constructor.

// using MovieCollection.OpenMovieDatabase;

var options = new OpenMovieDatabaseOptions
{
    ApiKey = "your-api-key",
};

var service = new OpenMovieDatabaseService(httpClient, options);

Search for a Movie

You can search for a movie via the SearchMovieAsync method.

var search = new NewMovieSearch
{
    Query = "interstellar",
};

var item = await service.SearchMovieAsync(search);

Search for Movies

You can search for movies via the SearchMoviesAsync method.

var search = new NewMoviesSearch
{
    Query = "three colors",
};

var result = await service.SearchMoviesAsync(search);

Search for a Season

You can search for a season via the SearchSeasonAsync method.

var season = await service.SearchSeasonAsync("tt2788316", 1);

Search for an Episode

You can search for an episode via the SearchEpisodeAsync method.

var episode = await service.SearchEpisodeAsync("tt2788316", 1, 2);

Please see the demo project for more examples.

Null Conversion

When a value is not available the Open Movie Database server returns "N/A" instead of null which is inconvenient. By default we have a custom JsonConverter to convert them to null.

You can disable this feature by setting the ConvertNotAvailableToNull option to false.

var options = new OpenMovieDatabaseOptions
{
    ConvertNotAvailableToNull = false,
};

Notes

• Please read the Open Movie Database's terms of use before using their services.
