Hi @xGrow Title searches happen with the /search/movie method. There's a document setup that outlines a basic search and get details procedure. You can see it here.

@travisbell there is somehow to get the video trailer?

Sure, you can get the list of trailers from the /videos method.

What about searching by properties other than title? For example I want to search for movies that have video:true and contain a genre_id of 55 (I have no idea what that genre id is for, this is just an example). Or specify a release date range or popularity minimum.

Use Discover.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/discover-movie
It has numerous filters.
Year, date range, actor, genre, vote average etc...
