Hi. I want to export my lists in json using API, but I took a problem with limit of 500 items. I use link:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/list/127969?api_key=<<myapikey>>&language=ru-RU
and in result i get list with 500 items instead 1030 items, last 530 items a don't know how to get.
How to solve this problem?

Hi @flobex,
If you need to get more than 500 items back, you should use v4 lists and then you can page through the results to get all of the items.
P.S. v3 now supports the v4 access token authentication, so you can switch to using the bearer token as a single means of auth for both v3 and v4.

Hello, thanks for answer.
I saw it, but in v4 there is limit, 20 items. How to expand this limit?

You can't. You'll just have to parse the response and grab the ID manually. The returned objects are the same as found everywhere else (search, discover, popular, etc...)
