The Movie Database Support

Hi, I'm currently using the append to response feature the API has and while I find it ver convenient I'm having troubles finding the available "things" I can append.

In particular I haven't found many references to the /person/{id} with append_to_response.

For example /search/person provides the "known_for" field, but appending that field doesn't seem to do much in /person/{id}.

Thanks in advance :D

All of the calls within the same namespace (child calls) are available.

Think of it as a parent/child relationship. The parent call is the /person/{id} call. Everything within it (/images, /credits, etc...) is a child call. That's what you can use with append_to_response.

Cheers.

Wonderful, never realised that, thanks Travis.

Regarding known_for, I guess that's not one of the options then, as it's not a child call right?

Correct, there is no known for method.

Ok, it's a shame, movie_credits will do then.

Thanks Travis, I'll set the discussion to closed.

Weirdly, append_to_response=combined_credits suddenly stopped working for me. It was working the other moment. Is it just a temporary outage or am I doing something wrong?

I'm using it like this:
