Hi Nancy,
You can't. You will have to make additional queries and/or start caching the data how you need to display it locally. Ie. in a local database.
Cheers.

How long can I cache data in my server? I see a point in Terms of use 'Cache any TMDb metadata or photos other than for reasonable periods in order to provide your service'. could you pls tell me what kind of data I can cache and how long ?

Hi NancyJe,
We don't really impose a limit for this. Whatever makes the most sense for your app. Could be indefinite.
The main idea behind this area of our terms of use is that you acknowledge the data is not yours and should we ever ask you to delete it all, you will. This has never happened, not once in 5 years but it helps protect us from illegitimate users and is part of our terms.
