How to display the genres of movies ?
Verfasst von VersifictionSTAFFMOD am 10. Juli 2019 um 15:45
Hello,
I'm doing a website with the API, and I got all the top rated movies (https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/top_rated), it's fine, But I want to put the genres of the movies, and I see that instead of having the names of the genres directly, we have an array of the genres id (example : "genre_ids":[35,18,10749]) I know that I need to use https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list, but is it normal and can someone who already did it, can explain me how to do? Thank you !

Hello,
There are very few different movie genres (far less than 100). So you can build once a cache id/name using https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/genres/get-movie-list. You can use a https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Objets_globaux/Map for that.
Then, you use this cache to get genre name from id.
