include_video flag to true does not work
posted by jozeroSTAFFMOD on February 12, 2018 at 3:49 PM
Hello,
I would like a list of trailers for the movie now_playing & tv airing-today calls. I try setting the "include_video=true" flag, and have also tried "video=true". The result though always returns ""video":false.
I have also tried the API explorer for discover/movie and set the include_video to true, and the results on that page also return no videos, just video:false. This is the test API call: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=KEY&language=en-US&sort_by=popularity.desc&include_adult=false&include_video=true&page=1
I really don't want to call each individual media returned and request the video list, how do I get the videos included with the general now_playing call?
Thank you for this awesome resource.

Oh I see in your reply on December 15, 2015 at 4:26PM on this thread: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/566f816f92514173ff014fdc
It is not possible to get trailers from any "list" call. Okay I will call one by one after getting a list of media.

I believe that nothing has changed.
It is not possible to obtain Trailer Links in a Discover API Request.
Only in Get Details - get / movie / {movie_id}.
And I don't remember anything like that on the To-Do list.
If you want you can check it, and if you find it you can vote.
