Hi! I'm writing a method that fetches the poster for a movie based on the movie's ID (such as 505.

My only question is, how do I get this ID?

In this scenario, the user would enter a title or pick a title from a list (such as The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013))

What I need is an API or way of getting an ID from that title that I can use to get the poster.

I already have the method and API call for getting the poster written. All I need is a way to translate that title into an ID.

Thanks in advance!

Hi sammydogbro,

You would want to look at the search method. Knowing the title of say, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" you can search like so:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=The+Hobbit:+The+Desolation+of+Smaug

You can be more precise if you know the year:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=The+Hobbit:+The+Desolation+of+Smaug&year=2013

You can then grab the results from the results array and parse out the ID.

Cheers.
