Hi jrichardson,

You should probably switch to the production address, api.themoviedb.org if you are wishing to query real world results. Apiary is a development and testing tool.

You can search for an actor like so:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person?api_key=###&query=bruce+willis

Get an id from your search (62 in Bruce Willis’ case) and query the main person details and append the images response so it’s all in one query):

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/62?api_key=###&append_to_response=images

Cheers.

How about a query getting all actors and actresses?

There is no such query. You would have to iterate through all of the IDs yourself starting at 1, and ending at the is returned in the /person/latest method.

So which documentation should I be following? Since the documentation provided was pretty unclear? To get a different person I would need to change the 62 to another number? What is the highest number? Thank you for the information has been very helpful.

You would want to start at id 1, and then you can pull the latest if from the /3/person/latest method.

Hi,

I want to get all movies with particular actor/actroess with your api. So please let me know is it possible if yes then how. Its urgent.

Thanks in advance.

To get the list of movie credits, call the movie_credits method on a person.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/287/movie_credits?api_key=###

You can call all of their credits by calling the combined_credits method:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/287/combined_credits?api_key=###

As always, the documentation is the best place for information: http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io
