The Trakt API powers thousands of apps like media center plugins, mobile apps, watch apps, command line utilities, and smart home integrations.
At Trakt, we collect lots of interesting information about what tv shows and movies everyone is watching. Part of the fun with such data is making it available for anyone to mash up and use on their own apps. The Trakt API was made just for this purpose.
It is very easy to use, you basically call a URL and get some JSON back.More complex API calls (such as adding a movie or show to your collection) involve sending us data. These are still easy to use, you simply POST some JSON data to a specific URL.
