It's answer :)
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
reload()
}
private func reload() {
let requestUrl = "https://www.themoviedb.org/search/remote/multi?query=exterminador%20do%20futuro&language=en"
let config = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: config)
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: requestUrl)!)
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
if let error = error {
println("###### error ######")
}
else {
if let JSON = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data,
options: .AllowFragments,
error: nil) as? [NSDictionary] {
for movie in JSON {
let name = movie["name"] as! String
let posterPath = movie["poster_path"] as! String
println(name) // "Terminator Genisys"
println(posterPath) // "/5JU9ytZJyR3zmClGmVm9q4Geqbd.jpg"
}
}
}
})
task.resume()
}
}

You need to include your api key along with the request. I'd just try something like this to see if it works or not. If it does, then you can go about using the api key in a different way to make it more secure. I wouldn't bother as it's not an api with much sensitive functionality.
let query = "Terminator+second"
let url = NSURL(string: "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/keyword?api_key=YOURAPIKEY&query=\(query)&language=‌​en")!
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in
if let response = response, data = data {
print(response)
//DO THIS
print(String(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding))
//OR THIS
if let o = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: nil, error:nil) as? NSDictionary {
println(dict)
} else {
println("Could not read JSON dictionary")
}
} else {
print(error)
}
}
task.resume()
The response you'll get will have the full list of properties. You need the poster_path and title (or original_title) property of the returned item.
