The Movie Database Support

I don't see these fields being filled in, or even displayed on the website. Also the one field that I do see, Producer, is at the series level when it seems all of these should be at the episode level.

Hi Dan,

Producers can be added at a season level. Example: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1396-breaking-bad/edit?active_nav_item=crew

Directors and writers are at an episode level, example: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1396-breaking-bad/season/5/episode/1/edit?active_nav_item=crew

Cheers.

In an effort to keep the network calls to a minimum, I get all the episodes for a season and cache them. But when you do this, this information isn't returned in each episode entry. So I can get it, but then I have to make yet another call. The way people use the app is to tag several episodes for a series at once, so if the info was in the episode entries returned by the season call, I wouldn't need to make another call for each episode. I'm assuming you're prefer to keep the network traffic as low as possible. Any chance of providing more info in the episode record in the the season record?

What I would do is do a single season call to get the relevant crew using the append_to_response parameter:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1418/season/1?api_key=###&append_to_response=credits

Then do an episode call, the same way:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1418/season/1/episode/1?api_key=###&append_to_response=credits

So on an initial run, you have number of episodes + 1 and every subsequent run only a single request per episode.

Cheers.

I was just hoping to not have to make a call for every episode. Oh well.
