Hi, I am using movie/now_playing to get list of movies. In api response I am getting an array of genre ids. How can i get genre names corresponding to those ids. Why is the api sending ids instead of names?
Also, there are no attributes corresponding to cast in the response. Is there any way i can get this?

Hi harsimran8,
genre_ids
are passed in so the responses are lighter and not subject to translations, this keeping it all around quicker and simpler. Most people would have already integrated our genres and probably already have access to those objects in their app. The list of genres can be found here.We do not return any other fields in any of our "featured list" methods. There is no way to get extra fields aside from making the call to the root item.
Cheers.

@jagmeet13 With the master list of genres in hand you can then map the results of a movie. ID
28
is "Action" for example.Svar af olehcambel

Discover would be the best way:
Take a look at the documentation, there's over 25 filters and sort options.

Hi, I don't understand how to get the actual genre names to parse from the genre_ids (I'm using jQuery). I'm currently listing the movies now playing with posters and I want to put their genres with, but I get the ids rather than the names ( 'action' for example). I'm quite a newbie at this, so any help appreciated.

As your problem is figuring out how to program using JQuerry, I think you might not find help here in this forum.
First, visit this page and see if any of the links can help you.
