The Movie Database Support

Hi all, I'm trying to use the API to find air dates of TV shows episodes, and so far I've been doing it with the get details API (for either TV seasons or TV episodes). My problem with this API is that it returns a LOT of data like details on every crew member in every episode. It can end up over 2000 lines of JSON for just one season. Since I'm using the API from a mobile app, I'd rather not waste so much user's bandwidth on data I don't need. Is there any other way to get the air date without all the extra details? I'm fairly new to this api, so I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing .

Thanks!

Hi there,

At this time there is not. The only way is to pull a full episode down (whether it's part of a season or individual episode call).

Bummer. Thanks for the answer!

Cheers.
