The only value available are the genre id which is an integer. what i need is the genre type that match this specific movie object.

An example discover query looking for say, action (id 28) and adventure (id 12) would look like this:
This is an
AND
query. If you wanted to do anOR
query, you would want to change the comma to a pipe:Discover supports well over 30 options and filters so make sure to read the docs to start and understand how powerful it is.

No problem. Just chilling with some
You're looking for something a little more like this:
$GENRE_QUERY
in this case would be a string like28,12
, but I don't know anything about Axios so that might not be the proper convention. Structurally that's right in any case.Reply by llator01

thanks for this, i will have to dig deeper but it helps.
One more thing, is there a way to get all genres not only 1 specific.
From the data set i have provide as you can see the movie has 4 genres id, which i assume correspond to the respectif genre this movie is belonging to.
If i want to display these 4 genres on the movie card, how would i do this?
Alternatively, in the first data set there are the genre ids, is there a way to get this ref return the matching name of the ref?
thanks again

const API_URL = Base_URL + "/discover/movie?sort_by=popularity.desc&" + API_KEY;

No. You will always receive the Gender ID.
I think at the very least you need to have the Gender ID match list with the Gender.
Look here:
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/genres/get-movie-list
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/genres/get-tv-list
Knowing which ID corresponds to which Genre you should on your side, in your code, do the conversion.
I don't know what you mean by movie card
I believe that only AXIOS code programmers can help you with this question.
