The Movie Database Support

Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve combined list of all movies and tv shows for a person. However if I make this call:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/225479/combined_credits?api_key=myApiKey

The response contains only 16 movie credits. The same 16 movie credits I get when I call:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/225479/movie_credits?api_key=myApiKey

But if I call:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/225479/tv_credits?api_key=myApiKey

I get another 6 tv credits missing from combined_credits response. Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for help

Hi there,

This should be fixed. Sorry for the trouble.

Great. Thanks for fast fix. You are the best :)

Hi, I have found another actor with similar problem. This time combined credits only returns TV credits:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/1052109/combined_credits?api_key=myApiKey

Thanks for help

Hi @riffmaker

I tried looking into this today but ran out of time. I'll take a peak at this on Monday. Sorry for the trouble.

This should be fixed now. Let me know if you see it again.

Hi, I am having this same problem too. For every actor i am only getting Movie credits using the combined credits call.

I'm not seeing any issues (I've truncated the response since it was over 1800 line slong):
