Hi Guys,
I could not find a way to fetch name of the movie director by making a simple call like below
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/tt0213847?api_key=###.
Am i missing something or the api does not return director deatils?

Hi,
You need to call the cast method.
As always, remember to check the documentation.
Cheers!

Is there any way to search for movies directed by a certain director? Looking through the documentation I don't see that.

Hi jhoward88,
You can’t search for a person by a job id, no. If you know the person ID, you can call any one of the person credit methods of course.

Hi Lebowsky,
Casts is old and deprecated (the original post here is from Jan 2013), you should call /credits now.
