Get list comments [API v4]
posted by IronKyle38STAFFMOD on May 11, 2020 at 2:01 PM
Hello,
I noticed a problem when I'm using the TMDb API.
I use this path: https://api.themoviedb.org/4/list/[LIST_ID]?api_key=[API_KEY]&sort_by=[SHORT_TYPE] and the number of comments is different when I use different short_by.
Comments are limited at 20 for:
original_order.ascandoriginal_order.descBut there is no limit for:
release_date.asc,release_date.desc,title.asc,title.desc,vote_average.ascandvote_average.desc
Is this a bug or a feature ?
Because I find it strange that there is a limit for some sort of sorting but not for others.
Thank you in advance.
Have a nice day.

Hi @IronKyle38,
Indeed that looks like a bug. I've created a new ticket for this here.

Hi @IronKyle38,
This has been fixed now. The items returned in the
commentsfield match the items returned in theresultsfield no matter which sort option you pick.Cheers.
