Hi there, we are using the crew API to pull in information about key crew members associated with each TV/Movie. We are looking to fetch just the key people - and ideally just the ones that sit on the top of the TMDB page for each movie/TV shows. E.g., for Mean Girls - just pull in the 3 crew members shown in the movie page header (Mark Waters, Rosalind Wiseman, Tina Fey) and not the full crew of 65 people. However, we are not sure how you identify the top 2-4 that sit in the header? It doesn't appear to be popularity score, or the order that it comes in the API. Are you able to point us to what to filter for to get just these top crew members? Or any other suggestions as to how we can pick a small subset of the full crew to highlight? (I.e., we considered just picking director and writer roles - but something like Game of Thrones has 15 directors so this doesn't always work).

Hi @as850,
For movies, the way we filter that "top crew" list is by job. The 6 jobs we filter by are:
But for TV it's different, the only job we feature in the header is the "Creator" credit.
Hope that helps.
