Then I create an HTML by extracting values from the ResponseSearchPeople class and set it to a Viewbag object. For doing this Serialization I use the JsonConvert class from namespace Newtonsoft.Json. I get the result in JSON format which is serialized into the ResponseSearchPeople class. Here I append API key, actor’s name and page number to the API URL which is –. I pass the actor name and ‘0’ for the page number, telling it to get me the 1st page for the search result.ĬallAPI(): The most important is the CallAPI() method where I am implementing TheMovieDb API. HTTP POST Index Action Method: It makes the call to the CallAPI() method. I have passed the ‘name’ of the actor and the ‘page number’ to this method. This method calls CallAPI() which will make the actual API call. Similarly for the URL like ‘ the ‘peopleName’ will receive ‘tom cruise’ while ‘page’ will receive ‘3’. The parameter called peopleName will contains the value of the text box (that contains actor’s name), while the parameter called page will contain the current page number as given in the URL.Ĭonsider – If the URL is ‘ then ‘peopleName’ will receive value of ‘nicole’ while ‘page’ will receive the value of ‘1’. I will be using this method for doing the actor search (by their names) through this API. HTTP GET Index Action Method: It has 2 parameters – string peopleName, int? page. Let me explain you the above code of the Controller. TheMovieDb.also_known_as = string.Join(', ', rootObject.also_known_as) TheMovieDb.profile_path = rootObject.profile_path = null ? Url.Content('~/Content/Image/no-image.png') : '' + rootObject.profile_path TheMovieDb.birthday = rootObject.birthday TheMovieDb.biography = rootObject.biography

TheMovieDb theMovieDb = new TheMovieDb()

ResponsePerson rootObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(apiResponse) StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()) Using (HttpWebResponse response = apiRequest.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)

HttpWebRequest apiRequest = WebRequest.Create('' + id + '?api_key=' + apiKey + '&language=en-US') as HttpWebRequest PagingInfo.TotalItems = rootObject.total_results PagingInfo pagingInfo = new PagingInfo()
