Hi @splakatak No, there is not. 20 items are always returned per page.

Cheers.

HI, And how do you iterate through all the pages?

You can make paged requests by using the page parameter.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&page=2
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&page=3

Cheers.

Thank you for your help Travis.

Wow seriously guys? You can't make it just return more than 20? or allow us to return all of them? This is extremely irritating...I'm making async axios calls and you really expect me to figure out a really long and definitely-not-best-practices way to make that LOOP (I don't even know if that's safe/smart or will work cuz its async...) to be able to keep looping when I need to just make one list and I'm not using pagination/don't want to?
