Hey !
Currently, I'm trying to get the per-episode cast info. Unfortunately, after checking the contribution bible I am still not sure how to get this. If I understand correctly there is a per-season cast, as well as guests (those that just appear in one or a few episodes, not the regulars).
Is there no data for episode cast then ? What I'm trying to do here is to get the characters credit of one episode. The goal is to create a diff, from one episode to the other, to see which characters died or disappeared. Is there a way to achieve this ?
Thanks
edit: replaced crew by cast

You can get the episode crew by calling the TV episode credits method:
Take a look at the
crew
field.There is TV season crew as well, you can find that data by calling the TV season credits method:

Hey @travisbell my bad, little naming mistake here, I meant the cast, not the crew. I know it is possible to get the per-episode crew, but the cast that gets returned when you go to, i.e> https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1399/season/1/episode/7/credits is actually the season one

Yes, so
/credits
returns 3 fields:cast
,crew
andguest_stars
.It sounds like you're looking for the
guest_stars
, is that right? That would be the per episode cast.Contestado por tmdb16134467

Aren't guest stars the exceptional appearances ? For example let's take GoT episodes 6/7:
Cast-wise, the episode 7 would be without (spoiler, character that died in ep 7). Going to IMDB confirms this, otherwise here he is not at all present in
guest_stars
, only incast

Not sure, that's all we have.
For a situation like a mid-season death, unless they were removed as a season regular and then re-added as guest stars there isn't really a way to show that data here.
