Hi,
Is it possible to include NumberOfSeasons, NumberOfEpisodes, ImdbId,Status to tv api list methods (discovery, onair, etc)?
The reason for this is that im creating a websites and I am showing a list of tvshows by certain categories, and I think is important to show the user without having to go inside the status of that tv show (cancelled, ended, on a break) , how many seasons and how many episodes the tv show have up to now and of course the imdbId to query other apis and hsow imdbrating
Main reason behind this is the strict limitation of 40 request every 10 secs. Only showing the first 20 tv shows i will need to make 21 calls. So as you could see as soon as they go to page 2 (which is likely to happen in less than 10 seconds) the api will return a 429 error.
Having those fields any user would be able to show nice information on the list just making 1 call instead of 21 epr every page.
Kind Regards,
Daniel Carles

Hi dcarles,
We do not have any plans on expanding the fields in these lists at this time (we just added
overview
,genre_ids
andoriginal_language
).You can cache some of the data locally which would let you build your schema to how you would like it.
Cheers.
