How many different ids are there? Is there a list of list ids and what those lists represent in the docs? Thank you in advance!

Hi jrichardson,
There are thousands, I'm not entirely sure just how many. The only way to really query lists is by either searching for them via text search (/3/search/list), or by getting an ID from your account (/3/account/{id}/lists). You can of course get the list id when you create a list as well.
What were you looking to do specifically?

Trying to get a full list of actors/actresses.

We don't have a single method to pull a list of all the actors and actresses. To do this, start at id 1, and iterate up until you get to the id found in the
/person/latestmethod.Cheers.
