When using http://127.0.0.1:8089/api/v1/movies all movie titles contain the release year in parenthesis at the end. Example:
"title": "12 Dates of Christmas (2011)",
The release year is provided separately:
"release_year": 2011,
Could you please remove the release year from the movie title? 
This is how the titles are stored in the library.

Thank you for your reply.
I will format the titles properly in my script.
This all looks most excellent, and I'm happy to see it exists.
Having said that - I came looking for an API because I was hoping to update metadata via script; things like changing the Titles and tags and so on. Any ETA for the next step, write access?
We're slowly rolling API support out, starting with read only. We'll make progress towards being able to write to the library eventually. There are plans, there are no timelines.
In the mean time you could use the unofficial API, which can be seen in the Chrome web inspector when using the web UI to make metadata edits.
