I ran the movie/popular to get a list of popular movies...the beginning of the Jason file returned says "page":1.. and it gave a total of 20 popular movies but the end of the file says "total_pages":9188,"total_results":183741}

what does this mean? it says total pages 9188 but the returned page says page 1 only...is there a page 2, page 3? another is that it says total result is 183741 but I can only retrieve 20?

Also, how do I increase the query result. For example, if I want more than 20 popular movies, say 50 or 100 popular movies?

Hi regie,

You need to use the page= parameter.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=###&page=1
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=###&page=2
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=###&page=3

Etc, etc…

Cheers.

Results are sorted by popularity in descending order so yes, the first page has the most popular items.
