How to get video ids from DISCOVER?
posted by conan1STAFFMOD on March 23, 2018 at 9:02 AM
For the below query the Include_video parameter is always returning false even if I set it to True?
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=&language=en-US&sort_by=popularity.desc&include_adult=false&include_video=true&page=1&primary_release_date.lte=2018&year=2018

Hi @conan1,
include_videois a filter on thevideoattribute and doesn't have anything to do with returning custom fields. You can read about what entries classified as videos are here: https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/movie#59f73b759251416e71000005Reply by conan1

Thanks @travisbell
Could you recommend me the best way to pull video attribute from an output of /movie/latest call? I noticed there is /movie/{movie_id}/videos but this will only give me one video id for every one movie request

Yes, unfortunately that's the only way to do it. There's no way to query video information from anywhere other than the /videos method. You will have to iterate over the ids to get the video information. Keep in mind you can use
append_to_response:
