What it does

The Trakt API gives data about films and TV shows, such as trending and popular titles, episodes, ratings and related titles, and with OAuth lets users sync what they watched, their watch lists and ratings. Send trakt-api-version: 2 and your app's client ID as trakt-api-key. Responses are JSON. Free with a free API key (the client ID of an app you register).
