Hello, how is it possible to send a request for a movie to the APi?
I found this, but where is the part where i can add the name i am looking for?
Example: SampleName -> Where have i to add this at the api?
var request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("http://private-d576-themoviedb.apiary.io/3/movie/{id}") as System.Net.HttpWebRequest;
request.Method = "GET";
request.Accept = ""application/json"";
request.ContentLength = 0;
string responseContent;
using (var response = request.GetResponse() as System.Net.HttpWebResponse) {
using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) {
responseContent = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}

A few things…
For title based searching, you're going to want to use the search endpoints. You can use the
?queryparameter to do that. You'll also probably want to switch your request to the real production server, so a URL like this:var request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=x-men") as System.Net.HttpWebRequest; request.Method = "GET"; request.Accept = ""application/json""; request.ContentLength = 0; string responseContent; using (var response = request.GetResponse() as System.Net.HttpWebResponse) { using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) { responseContent = reader.ReadToEnd(); } }Cheers.

Is there any way to get a XML file back at my request?

No, our API is JSON only.
