Hello,
I would like to know how to get the actor's id in order to work with API's.
Best,
See here https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/search/search-people
Using Api KEY to search for an actor, for example Orson Welles, https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person?api_key=[MY_KEY]&language=en-US&query=Orson%20Welles&page=1
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person?api_key=[MY_KEY]&language=en-US&query=Orson%20Welles&page=1
you will receive the following answer, which includes the actor ID. In this case 40.
page 1 total_results 1 total_pages 1 results 0 popularity 2.01 id 40 profile_path "/k7a0gp3HKWT5uBmfirM74vackiV.jpg" name "Orson Welles" known_for […] adult false
You also receive the profile photo path. "/k7a0gp3HKWT5uBmfirM74vackiV.jpg"
See https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/k7a0gp3HKWT5uBmfirM74vackiV.jpg
And the movies he is best known for. I did not show here but ... Take a test. Use your KEY.
Thank you very much for the information ticao2
I’ll only add, that depending on your use case you might also appreciate to be able to sync/import all of the person IDs at once. To do that, you can use our daily ID exports.
