Get movie genre using it's title
posted by HallurAtlasonSTAFFMOD on August 15, 2014 at 2:55 PM
Hi,
I want to get genres for movies using their titles as the search parameter. Do I really have to do it in two requests? First one being http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=title, to get the movie's ID, and then http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/id?api_key=### for the genres? I'd much rather do it in one request.
Thanks in advance, Hallur

Hi HallurAtlason,
Genres are not currently a supported field in our search results, you will indeed have to hit the movie info method to get them.
Cheers.
