Api to get similar movies for a movie id is really time consuming, how to optimally handle it ?

For many movies there are more than 1500 pages of similarity movie results for example for movie id = 2 I see 1873 pages and total results 37447. Is there any way to get only top 100 similar movies based on some similarity score. For instance if movie id=2 has some 100 movies with high similarity I need only those movies else is there any way to quickly fetch all similar movie ids instead of hitting the API 1873 times.

Hi raghavankl,
I might be misunderstanding something but the similar movie results are returned in order of a relevancy score even though it's not displayed. If you're only interested in the top 100 movies, just grab the first 5 pages. You don't need to grab any more than that…

Hi Travis,
I think you are right, I need only top 100 similar movies. So what I understand from your answer is If I call this API (/3/movie/{id}/similar_movies) with a movie id the results are rendered on a descending order of the relevancy score. Thanks for your information.
