Hello,

I am looking for a way to query a list of movies that a specific actor is known for just like on the actors page on your website. Is this possible and if it is, can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hi @championq45,

You can use the known_for_department that can be found in the response of a person details method. You can see in Steven Spielberg's example, he is known for "Directing" so it's his top directing credits that get populated as the known for list.
