The Movie Database Support

I was trying to retrieve a list of episode groups. On the TV Episode Groups page, (the only page provided for Episode Groups), the query string is shown as:
GET /tv/episode_group/{id}.

Also, the Try it out area shows: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/episode_group/{id}?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US

In both cases, notice that the text is showing episode_group, singular. However, in order to make the list query work, I had to use episode_groups, plural - with the show id.

I figured it out after much searching when I found @TravisBell's post here. This page had great examples! Thanks for that, @TravisBell!

Perhaps it would be clearer if there was another page - or at least a comment - that the plural form, with the show id, is necessary for a list of groups:
/tv/{id}/episode_groups

while the singular form, with the specific group id, is required for a specific group?
/tv/episode_group/{id}

Hi @leanne63,

The plural page is indicated as much on the docs here, isn't it? Basically, you look up the groups in the tv namespace and then query the actual group from the episode_group namespace.

Missed it there, under the TV list of APIs! I guess I didn't see it there, since Episode Groups had its own section. Thanks, @travisbell, for the further info.

No problem. wink

Okay, just one more comment, @travisbell : the TV / Get Episode Groups page says "Get all of the episode groups that have been created for a TV show. With a group ID you can call the get TV episode group details method."

Maybe a similar link back to the TV / Get Episode Groups page from the Episode Groups / Get Details would be helpful for us noobs ;)
