Query for multiple movies ids with a comma separated list?
posted by rustybaileySTAFFMOD on August 11, 2013 at 9:23 AM
Is there a way to return data for multiple movie ids? I am trying to do something like this: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/11,90?api_key=[blah] , but it's only returning the first movie. My main goal is to query a movie list and then get more info (such as duration) on each movie in that list. Is there just a way I can add a param to include more info in a list request?

Searching and so sad because we don't have a query for multiple movies. I think it's necessary

We would save a lot of requests. The decrease of my app requests would be approx. 1/9th!

I agree with all who commented this post, it could be really appreciated to add a getMovies call !

It's been almost 6 years since the original request :) Any update on the matter or suggestions?

Just adding my support for this.
Even something like limit the batch to 20 per page would be a huge change. I know my app will be doing average 5 to 20 calls per list which could be as few as 1 or 2 would be a huge help.
