Hello, I am trying to get all the Seasons (with the Episodes) for a TV Show:
I am trying to retrieve everything in 2 API calls.
What I am doing right now is:
Example Query
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1418
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1418?api_key=XXXX&append_to_response=season/1,season/2,season/3,season/4,season/5,season/6,season/7,season/8,season/9,season/10,season/11
The issue I am having is that those Seasons are coming into separate fields instead of a List:
...
"vote_average": 6.8,
"vote_count": 2966,
"season/1":{"_id": "5256cfbc19c2956ff60a042f", "air_date": "2007-09-24", "episodes":[{"air_date": "2007-09-24",…},

"season/5":{"_id": "5256cfbc19c2956ff60a03f1", "air_date": "2011-09-22", "episodes":[{"air_date": "2011-09-22",…},
"season/6":{"_id": "5256cfbc19c2956ff60a0416", "air_date": "2012-09-27", "episodes":[{"air_date": "2012-09-27",…},
"season/7":{"_id": "5256cfbc19c2956ff60a0468", "air_date": "2013-09-25", "episodes":[{"air_date": "2013-09-25",…},
"season/8":{"_id": "53d1798b0e0a265e0100d01b", "air_date": "2014-09-22", "episodes":[{"air_date": "2014-09-22",…},
"season/9":{"_id": "55f0db989251416705000479", "air_date": "2015-09-21", "episodes":[{"air_date": "2015-09-21",…},
"season/10":{"_id": "57d2a4a69251415cb9002b29", "air_date": "2016-09-19", "episodes":[{"air_date": "2016-09-19",…},
"season/11":{"_id": "598251a392514151c501c11f", "air_date": "2017-09-25", "episodes":[{"air_date": "2017-09-25",…}
...
Is it possible to get all those Season objects inside a list? When parsing the response into the object, I don't know before hand how many Seasons does a Specific Tv Show has. So how many Season Fields to define in the TVShow POJO if every different TVShow will have different amount of Seasons.
Thanks a lot

Hi there,
Unfortunately, no, this is not possible. The best way to think about/implement this is that every one of the appended methods that is specified in the
append_to_response
parameter will map to a JSON object in the root of the response with the same name as that field.The API is not designed to go in blind like that. One option would be to make a request to the get details method which returns a list of the seasons, then make a second request with
append_to_response
to get the season data. That way you will only request data you know exists.Vastaus käyttäjältä logicaldays

@M3nt1r0s0 There's no need to hijack a thread with something unrelated, next time please create a new post.
