An example discover query looking for say, action (id 28) and adventure (id 12) would look like this:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_genres=28,12

This is an AND query. If you wanted to do an OR query, you would want to change the comma to a pipe:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_genres=28|12

Discover supports well over 30 options and filters so make sure to read the docs to start and understand how powerful it is.

Hi Travis, thanks for supporting on a sunday. I am fetching it this way using an async function. Where should i add the with_genres in this set up,please?

const fetchMovies = async () => {

    const { data: {results}} = await axios.get(`${API_URL}/discover/movie/with_genres`, {
      params: {
        api_key: process.env.REACT_APP_MOVIE_API_KEY,
      },
    })

No problem. Just chilling with some

You're looking for something a little more like this:

 const fetchMovies = async () => {

     const { data: {results}} = await axios.get(`${API_URL}/discover/movie`, {
       params: {
         api_key: process.env.REACT_APP_MOVIE_API_KEY,
         with_genres: ${GENRE_QUERY}
       },
     })

$GENRE_QUERY in this case would be a string like 28,12, but I don't know anything about Axios so that might not be the proper convention. Structurally that's right in any case.

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.

If i want to display these 4 genres on the movie card, how would i do this?

I don't know what you mean by movie card
I believe that only AXIOS code programmers can help you with this question.
