I created a list of 800 movies and I would like to download the basic fields (id, title, release_date, overview, genres, popularity, etc.) via the API. I was able to get 500 records out, but need to get the other 300. What is the best way to accomplish this? I'm new to APIs so I could use some advice. Thanks!

I don't think I can answer your question.
But I know it would be better if you provided more information.
That list you created, what data does it contain? What fields?
Which fields do you want the data? There can't be etc ... there.
How did you get the data for those first 500?
And how is this data stored?
A single table? One .NFO file for each movie?

The list was created in TMDB, The 500 records that I downloaded via the API into Python contained the following fields (vote_count, popularity, id, video, media_type, vote_average, title, release_date, original_language, original_title, genre_ids, backdrop_path, adult, overview, poster_path, original_name, name, origin_country, first_air_date). These were the fields that were delivered through the GET /list/{list_id} method via the API. Thanks for the quick reply.

I personally never used this feature.
But I believe that using Lists in V4 mode it is possible to import an unlimited amount of items.
What I don't know, because I don't use it, is whether there is a quantity limitation when making an GET API Request.
But I think itβs worth taking a look.

Yes, the best way to accomplish this will be to page through the results on a v4 list. This way you can get all of the items.
