Hi Roman,

To do a search, you would execute a query like so:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=batman+v+superman

Then to grab its info, you would take he id returned (I'll use the first result as an example, so id 209112) and call its primary info method:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/209112?api_key=###

You can use append_to_response if you want to get more methods returned back in a single HTTP call like so:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/209112?api_key=###&append_to_response=release_dates,videos

Cheers.
