Finding a keyword id
afiŝita de FrostycrowSTAFFMOD je Februaro 20 2016 je 11:41 AM
Hi i am fairly new to using this API, i have a quick question regarding searching for films by KEYWORD - to search i must have a valid keyword ID, however how do i find the id related to a given keyword? For example i search for keyword = cat, how do i get the id ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Frostycrow,
There's 2 ways you would normally get the id of a keyword.
First, by calling (for example) the /keywords method on a movie. This will return a list of keyword (along with the id).
Second, would be to use /search/keyword. An example request would look like:
This will return a list of items with a name and id.
Cheers.

can we send multiple keywords? i tried it by seperating from a coma... and it reduced the number of results

Yes.
Comma = AND
Pipe = OR
Use pipe, | .
See the rule:
AND/OR Logic
Also note that a number of filters support being comma (,) or pipe (|) separated.
Comma's are treated like an AND query while pipe's are treated like an OR.
This allows for quite complex filtering depending on your desired results.

What @ticao2 said is true for discover. This does not work on search.
