Hello TMDB team, I recently discovered this amazing database and I didn't succeed to get backdrops paths since I'm getting an empty array even when I tried a lot of movies by this request: { https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id}/images?api_key=<>&language=en-US }. Also I wanted to thank you guys and all the contributors for this amazing work, keep up the good work <3.

To receive the image paths, in this API Request you are using, you need to add the parameter &include_image_language=
Just use the code iso_639_1. For example en or pt.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550/images?api_key=THE_KEY&language=en-US&include_image_language=en
If you want images from different languages, just add the language codes separated by a comma.
For example en, pt, es, de
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550/images?api_key=THE_KEY&language=en-US&include_image_language=en,pt,es,de
In the case of Backdrops, as most do not have text and therefore do not have a language, you need to use the null language code.
For example en, pt, es, de, null
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550/images?api_key=THE_KEY&language=en-US&include_image_language=en,pt,es,de,null
To receive all images, of all languages, with or without defined language, make the API Request without defining the initial parameter &language=
For example
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550/images?api_key=THE_KEY
