The Movie Database Support

I'm looking to download info about all movies in the database:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=###&append_to_response=releases,trailers

So instead of passing one id - 550 for Fight Club, I would like to pass multiple or better yet, just get everything. How do I achieve that?

You can't. It's 1 movie per request. There is no "bulk id" get method.

OK, I see a few lists out there. How do I create one for myself?

"Get the lists that you have created" - how? and how do I specify what I want in my list - for eg. movies grossing more than $10 million in the last 10 years ?

Hi Andy,

We thought pre-populating a database with some of the key data points (movie title, actor names, character names, production studio, movie category...etc) might alleviate that issue. So that is what we are trying to accomplish. Any suggestions for us?

You can start at movie id 1 and go up to the last available ID, pulling in and storing whatever data you need locally.

Also, we would like to include the images in TMDB as search results on our site as well (all attribution and links stated and provided of course, as per the user agreement). Is there a method you think would work best?

The search and movie methods return a poster_path field which you can use to show images. We host everything on Amazon's CloudFront and have no problems if you serve them directly from there.

All of this is fine, just be sure to attribute TMDb like you mentioned.

Thanks.
