Trakt API
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 site or app. 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. Make sure to check out the **Required Headers** and **Authentication** sections for more info on what needs to be sent with each API call. Also check out the **Terminology** section insight into the features Trakt supports. # Create an App To use the Trakt API, you'll need to **create a new API app**. # Stay Connected API discussion and bugs should be posted in the **GitHub Developer Forum** and *watch* the repository if you'd like to get notifications. Make sure to follow our **API Blog** and **@traktapi on Twitter** too. # API URL The API should always be accessed over SSL. ``` https://api.trakt.tv ``` If you would like to use our sandbox environment to not fill production wi
