Get all videos without specifying language
posted by VERSEAU44STAFFMOD on March 23, 2017 at 5:39 AM
Hi !
I'd like to recover ALL videos from a movie I use the 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/ID_TMDB/videos?api_key=XXXX' It only seems to work if the language is indicated (while it is only optional normally)
Ex for the movie 30800: 1 trailer only exists in 'language=de' If I do not specify the language : answer without video If I put '&language=de' at the end of the request, the video is well proposed
What is the problem ? How to indicate "all languages" ('&language=*' does not work)
Thanks for your help ;o)

Hi there,
I've created a new ticket to think about this here but as a general rule, the API doesn't provide a way to fallback language based data. The reason for this is because it makes caching data nearly impossible. There is currently work being done to get the API to a point that doesn't need a cache, in which case fallbacks would be much more practical, but until that work is complete I am not sure if this will be completed.
I would imagine this will work the same as the image query, with its
include_image_languagefilter.
