Filter by only Movies and TV Shows?

Hello, I'm creating a website which has the TV and Movies Schedule for about 4 channels, and I was hoping to get an API which searches for Movies and TV Shows, not only Movies or only TV shows, but both. Is there any API that has this feature to look for both? but not actors,companies and such with it like the Discover one.

When you say "an API which searches for Movies and TV Shows" how are you wanting to search for them? Via a text query?

I'm sorry I do not understand the word "text query", When i'm saying "an API which searches for Movies and TV Shows" then I'm talking about finding the most popular movie or TV Show with that name.
Example 1: The Big Bang Theory, that would find the most popular TV Show which would probably be the shows with Sheldon Cooper. Example 2: Annabelle, that would find the most popular Movie which would probably be the horror movie.
With the Examples using the same API like mixing TV Shows and Movies together, I'm sorry if it's hard to understand what i'm saying but I don't know if I can explain any better.
If possible, I would like these two together, (Screenshot):http://prntscr.com/etejoj.

We have a multi search, but it only searches titles, so if that's good enough that yes, you can do that. You can easily skip results with a
media_typeof "person", thus only showing movies and TV shows.As an example.

Alright, thanks. But can I get a poster image and the genre of the movie/TV show with it?

Yup, all of that is available. Check out the example responses in the documentation.
