Working on a movie website and would love to find an API that I could use to get information about different movies. I code in PHP but I'm assuming this would probably return XML.
I can recommend themoviedb.org. We have been using their API in an open source movie managing application with great success.
Quick google search returned this: Internet Video Archive Movie API. It seems to return XML data, so it could work for you.
EDIT: The link is down (thanks #Mutant), Wayback Machine has a backup.
For getting straight-up information about movies (for instance, basic genre and title information) the Amazon associates data works pretty good. There is the condition that the data be used primarily to drive traffic to Amazon, which is something to keep in mind.
There should be a PHP library already written that you can use: http://aws.amazon.com/associates/
Rotten Tomatoes has a free REST API (developer.rottentomatoes.com). The access keys are restricted to 10000 calls/day.

I have been searching for this for a while and I can't find. I am searching for a video on demand APi but I can't find any. Please help.
UPDATE:
Let me clarify one thing, I want to rent the movie THE MATRIX via API so I can show it to the user. That is what I pretend?
need to look into UltraViolet or Locker Access Streaming Provider Role (LASP).
check out UltraViolet for Business,
https://www.uvvu.com/en/au/uv-for-business
to connect your service to UltraViolet or to Develop Services or components you need a licence.
Download the licence package here: https://uvvu.com/sites/default/files/DECE%20License%20Agrmnts20140820%20PDFs.zip
hope this helps.
You need to look at solutions called "paywall" or "pay-per-view" for the media server which you decide to pick up.
There was a site called Popcorn Time which is similar to Netflix in number of ways. They made their source code available for every one by making the project open source after attracting huge media attention.

I'm guessing this info is privileged since I couldn't find anything on Google's listed APIs. In fact I'd be amazed if it wasn't proprietary securely fastened Google magic, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Is there an Google API for the information appearing when you do a basic search for say an Actress or Rockband? You know the box that appears to the right of the results if google figures out exactly what you're looking for. (I'm specifically interested in musicians despite the example below)
I.e.
https://www.google.com/search?q=woody+allen
I can get similar milage using Freebase, but Google's is always better. For example, It'll even pull upcoming events if it's a Musician, etc.
The Freebase Topic API contains the bulk of what you're looking for.
e.g. https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/topic/en/woody_allen

I am building an application and would like to automatically post to craigslist with a click of a button. Is there any way to do this?
I have an account and will pay for each post.
Ultimately no. You can query for listings with a search string from an RSS feed such as this:
http://YOURCITY.craigslist.org/search/sss?format=rss&query=SearchString
As far as posting, craiglist has not opened their API. However, this SO Question may shed some light and a possible solution - although not a very reliable one.
Craigslist Automated Posting API?
Write a note to craigslist asking them to open their API,
Craigslist does have a "bulk posting interface" which allows for multiple posts to happen at once through HTTPS POST. See:
http://www.craigslist.org/about/bulk_posting_interface
Craiglist is pretty stingy with their data , they even go out of their way to block scraping. If you use ruby here is a gem I wrote to help scrape craiglist data you can search through multiple cities , calculate average price ect...
Good news everybody! Craigslist has actually released a bulk posting api now!
Enjoy
The closest I have been able to find is called 3taps. 3taps was sued by Craigslist with the result that "access to public data on a public website can be selectively censored by blacklisting certain viewers (i.e. competitors)", and thus states that "3taps will therefore access the very same data exclusively from public sources that retain open and equal access rights to public data".

we're working with a client who's parent company is using intershop enfinity 6 as a shopping platform with each sub-brand using their own shops, but they are connected to the "mothership" via some form of api.
now i am facing several problems:
i have no influence on what software is used whatsoever, so i know enfinity is probably a pain in the ass but i have to live with that
i will be old and grey until they manage to get me some contact or documentation from the parent company's it department
apparently there is no chance of acquiring documentation from intershop without being a registered customer. at least i found nothing on their site but the brief mention of "modularity"...
all i want to do is to look up what kind of api (or whatever they use to implement shopping functionality on other sites) this is and if it is in some way standardized, etc... any info helps.
is there anyone with experience on this? i'm sure to get some specs someday but it would be nice to come a bit prepared.
thanks in advance,
anton
You get detailed information only if you have a support / customer account with Intershop. Or you get your hands on an install DVD provided by your client - there you can find a whole set of documents and API documentation. The best information until then would be visiting http://www.intershop.com/enfinity-functionality.html - but it just talk about features, not technology.
(Disclaimer: I work for Intershop)

Does anybody know if autotrader.com offers an API or something that would help with mass postings of vehicles?
Or does anybody have any idea of what to use to create something like this? I was thinking of maybe a mouse location and click over a browser window type of thing.
AutoTrader provides a bulk upload feature through a file feed process. The file runs through a set of processes to associate it with the proper listing tier (Premium, Feature or Standard) and in addition normalizes the information across vehicle make and models. This process runs several times daily and is being migrated to a near real-time solution for quicker add or updates.
I can find no documentation on it but I've come across this link which seems to provide a json response.
