For the movies and TV API, can we add thumbnail pictures in every query, like Netflix. Right now Movies and TV on TMDB have posters only, but not landscape thumbnails of a movie still. It can be very useful
Thanks

Hi @ridhwaans,

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. TMDb supports landscape images, we call them backdrops here.

They are returned via the /images method on the API, keyed under the backdrops field.

hi @travisbell ,

I have tried to fetch multiple movie ids at https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/movies/get-movie-images
however all of the responses are returning

{
  "id": <movie_id>,
  "backdrops": [],
  "posters": []
}

I believe it should work, unless i did something wrong
I have tried lion king, kubo, hobbs and shaw, and more, but getting empty backdrops

My guess if you need to include a include_image_language param. Give this document a read through.
