Getting strange behaviour with getting watchlist
posted by htillySTAFFMOD on November 20, 2018 at 9:52 AM
When looking at the examples and documentation of GET/account/{account_id}/movie/watchlist https://api.themoviedb.org/4/account/{account_id}/movie/watchlist?page=1
The value "page" is optional and default set to 1. So I have tried to leave out that option but it seems that I still only receive a part of my list.
What if I don't want "pages". I simply want "everything" in one call. Is that possible?

Hi @htilly,
We only return 20 items per page, so if your list has more than 20 items you will need to iterate over the pages.
And so on... until you've reached the value of
total_pages.Reply by htilly

Ok, thanks for a fast answer.
That makes sense from a GUI point of view. But when accessing thru API and code it adds some unnecessary complexity. No plans of adding an option of showing all?! ;)

Not at this time, no. There might be support for more items per page at some point, but it will always be paginated.
