Summary of Response Types Generated for each Request Type

Examples (C#)

OMDB API Client Creation

OmdbClient omdbClient = new OmdbClient("YOUR_API_KEY");

API Key Validation

// Asynchronous
bool isKeyValidAsync = await omdbClient.IsAPIKeyValidAsync();

// Synchronous
bool isKeyValidSync = omdbClient.IsAPIKeyValidSync();

ByTitleRequest Creation

// Basic - No optional parameters - Short plot
ByTitleRequest byTitleRequestBasic = new ByTitleRequest("rick and morty");

// Detailed - With optional parameters - Full plot
ByTitleRequest byTitleRequestDetailed = new ByTitleRequest("rick and morty", VideoType.Series, null, PlotSize.Full);

ByTitleRequest Execution

// Asynchronous 
ByTitleResponse byTitleResponseAsync = await omdbClient.ByTitleRequestAsync(byTitleRequestBasic);

// Synchronous 
ByTitleResponse byTitleResponseSync = omdbClient.ByTitleRequestSync(byTitleRequestBasic);

ByIDRequest Creation

// Short plot
ByIDRequest byIDRequestShortPlot = new ByIDRequest("tt1219827");

// Full plot
ByIDRequest byIDRequestFullPlot = new ByIDRequest("tt1219827", PlotSize.Full);

ByIDRequest Execution (Responses are ByTitleResponse objects)

// Asynchronous 
ByTitleResponse byIDResponseAsync = await omdbClient.ByIDRequestAsync(byIDRequestShortPlot);

// Synchronous 
ByTitleResponse byIDResponseSync = omdbClient.ByIDRequestSync(byIDRequestShortPlot);

BySearchRequest Creation

// All Results - No optional parameters
BySearchRequest bySearchRequestAll = new BySearchRequest("ghost in the shell");

// Page 2 Only (Results 11 to 20 only) - No optional parameters
BySearchRequest bySearchRequestPageSpecific = new BySearchRequest("ghost in the shell", null, null, 2);

// All Results - With optional parameters
BySearchRequest bySearchRequestFiltered = new BySearchRequest("ghost in the shell", VideoType.Movie, 2017);

BySearchRequest Execution

// Asynchronous 
BySearchResponse bySearchResponseAsync = await omdbClient.BySearchRequestAsync(bySearchRequestAll);

// Synchronous 
BySearchResponse bySearchResponseSync = omdbClient.BySearchRequestSync(bySearchRequestAll);
