TMDbLib 
A near-complete wrapper for v3 of TMDb's API (TheMovieDb - https://www.themoviedb.org/).
Using alpha packages
All commits to master produce an Alpha package that can be found here. Read more on how to use these packages.

Documentation
Most of the library is self-explaining, and closely follows the possibilities at the official TMDb documentation site: developers.themoviedb.org.
Examples
Simple example, getting the basic info for "A good day to die hard".
TMDbClient client = new TMDbClient("APIKey");
Movie movie = client.GetMovieAsync(47964).Result;
Console.WriteLine($"Movie name: {movie.Title}");Using the extra features of TMDb, we can fetch more info in one go (here we fetch casts as well as trailers):
TMDbClient client = new TMDbClient("APIKey");
Movie movie = await client.GetMovieAsync(47964, MovieMethods.Credits | MovieMethods.Videos);
Console.WriteLine($"Movie title: {movie.Title}");
foreach (Cast cast in movie.Credits.Cast)
Console.WriteLine($"{cast.Name} - {cast.Character}");
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (Video video in movie.Videos.Results)
Console.WriteLine($"Trailer: {video.Type} ({video.Site}), {video.Name}");It is likewise simple to search for people or movies, for example here we search for "007". This yields basically every James Bond film ever made:
TMDbClient client = new TMDbClient("APIKey");
SearchContainer<SearchMovie> results = client.SearchMovieAsync("007").Result;
Console.WriteLine($"Got {results.Results.Count:N0} of {results.TotalResults:N0} results");
foreach (SearchMovie result in results.Results)
Console.WriteLine(result.Title);However, another way to get all James Bond movies, is to use the collection-approach. TMDb makes collections for series of movies, such as Die Hard and James Bond. I know there is one, so I will show how to search for the collection, and then list all movies in it:
TMDbClient client = new TMDbClient("APIKey");
SearchContainer<SearchCollection> collectons = client.SearchCollectionAsync("James Bond").Result;
Console.WriteLine($"Got {collectons.Results.Count:N0} collections");
Collection jamesBonds = client.GetCollectionAsync(collectons.Results.First().Id).Result;
Console.WriteLine($"Collection: {jamesBonds.Name}");
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine($"Got {jamesBonds.Parts.Count:N0} James Bond Movies");
foreach (SearchMovie part in jamesBonds.Parts)
Console.WriteLine(part.Title);Tips
- All methods are
asyncand awaitable - Most methods are very straightforward, and do as they are named,
GetMovie,GetPersonetc. - Almost all enums are of the
[Flags]type. This means you can combine them:MovieMethods.Casts | MovieMethods.Trailers - TMDb are big fans of serving as little as possible, so most properties on primary classes like
Movieare null, until you request the extra data using the enums like above.
