hello,

is it possible to use these api’s in my corona app: http://thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php?title=Programmers_API#Example_Usage

thanks in advance!

Yes this is possible.  This is a simple network.request() API.  You will however need an XML parser library.  There is one in an older tutorial as well as one used in the RSS parser that’s in the Corona SDK Business App Sample on our github repository: https://github.com/coronalabs/business-app-sample

It will take a little work to get their XML to parse into Lua tables, but it should be doable.
