Hi, sometimes runtime information is missing for whatever reason, but maybe if you post one or more examples of movies without runtime fields, we can try to figure out what's going on there. :-)
The duration of a movie is a language dependent field, like the title. Did you check on the site that, in the language you are making your request, a duration is available.
In that case, I don't understand why if I ask for language=ja-JP, it still returns a runtime even though Bullet Train has an existing Japanese translation with an empty duration field:
There maybe fallbacks in some cases, but the normal return value in that case is either null or the absence of the field, as written in the API documentation.
Hey @superboy97, I'm pretty sure the API does fall back now on the main details call, so there should always be a value unless you're looking at the translation data, which will show you the individual values.
I can't update the docs since the current version of Stoplight we're using has been EOL'd and is read only. I haven't found the time to get things migrated to a new system yet.
In that case, @orestegabo , if you want more help, you need to post here the exact query you are using (just replace your API key with a generic text like "API_KEY") and the result you get.
But when i'm trying to display it inside my Scaffold, it doenst show anything, but the when printing in the console, it show the real value
It is rather displaying the initial value of _runtime inside the Scaffold, which means that it is probably displaying the value of _runtie inside the Scaffold before receiving the real data , and then after don't update inside the Scaffold.

Strange. Bullet Train doesn't have a Malay translation on this site, yet the runtime is still returned when I set language=ms-MY:

I'm talking of existing translations with an empty duration field.
If you ask for a non-existent translation, the system will default to an existing one.

I don't know Scaffold, so I can't help you on this.
