Favorited/rated on a movie list
posted by BinaryForkSTAFFMOD on October 17, 2013 at 11:35 AM
When a user click on a list I want to indicate his favorited/rated movies (like on the moviedb site). So can I get a favorited/rated status of each movie in any list? Or I have to call /3/movie/{id}/account_states on each movie separately? Thanks.

Hi BinaryFork,
Right now the only way to get that information is indeed via the /account_states method. I'm not sure if we would ever have that data interlaced within the lists results themselves. I'd have to give that some though.

I see. So is this ok to call /account_states simultaneously 20 times for each page? How is this done on the site? The best way for now is to keep lists locally I think.

There's no issue with you calling it a bunch of times. The only thing you need to watch out for is the rate limits.
