How to query for multiple movies and TV shows at once

I would like to query for multiple movies and TV shows using one API call. Or multiple movies in one call and multiple TV shows in another. This is to save on network requests for your API and my users.
ie. /movies/15213,5828,58592 and /tv/9582,12324,323195.
Is it possible?

Hi there,
This is not possible at this time, although I do have an open ticket to think about adding it in the future.

Hi Travis - sounds great. I am building a small netflix-style demo app and I have "my list" which contains both TV shows and movies so I need to make a bunch of a API calls just to retrieve that data. I can cache the data on my end to make it faster and to limit API calls but being able to batch them together sounds better/easier
