While searching for the revenue field in the discover endpoint, I was wondering if this was removed from the endpoint, find below my code written in python and look at the response, the revenue field is not present.
Of course I can get the movie_ids from this response and pass them to the /movie/{movie_id} endpoint, but it wouldn't be an efficient way.
Do you have another option I can follow?

I believe this would be the only way to get the actual revenue numbers.
One thing to consider is that while revenue isn't included in the discover output, discover can sort by revenue. So for example, if you wanted the 10 highest revenue films you can sort by revenue.desc and then you only have to lookup the details on the first 10 movies.
See the movie discover doc for more details.
