Hi @KashishSharma,

Unfortunately the rank is not available on the API. If this is something you are interested in, you can pull down the popularity data and build your own ordered list. The easiest way to do this would be to use the daily ID file exports. They contain all of the movies/tv shows/people and have the popularity weight field included.

Thanks, @travisbell !!
