Search

Search queries can be returned as pages of results, pagination can be performed with the 2nd and 3rd parameters, though they are optional.

Performing a basic search:

Tomatoes::search("Terminator");

Will return all results for the given search term.

To search for the term "war" limiting to 10 results per page and viewing page 2 of the results:

Tomatoes::search("war",10,2);

Results are ordered by most recent release date first, this is set by the API and cannot be changed.

Movie info

Further information on a specific movie by it's ID:

Tomatoes::movie(771245718);

Will return the detailed information for 'Django Unchained'

Other info

The remaining endpoints take the same format:

Tomatoes::cast(771245718);

Tomatoes::reviews(771245718);

Tomatoes::similar(771245718);
