Hi Blair,

We do not have any batch features at this time. You'll have to loop through each item you need on its own.

Cheers.

Hi Travis,

Is it possible to reconsider batch requests? I think it'll reduces the server loads by reducing quite a lot of http requests. It's beneficial to both server's and client's point of view.

Hi henryk82,

What is is specifically you would like to get in a single request? We don't have any plans to release a "multi get" or "batch" method but I am curious to understand your problem better.

Cheers.

Hi Travis, An option to make a request for multiple movie details would be very helpful. to illustrate what I mean consider this batch of requests:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id1}?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id2}?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id3}?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id4}?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id5}?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US
...

I might want to make all of these requests one after the other because I have some list of movies that my user had saved in my app and I want to show them a scrollable list of their details. I could provide my user with a faster experience and stay under my rate limit more easily if I could send them as one request. for example:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id1}_{movie_id2}_{movie_id3}_{movie_id4}_{movie_id5}_...?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US

or maybe:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie?movie_ids={movie_id1},{movie_id2},{movie_id3},{movie_id4},{movie_id5},...&api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US

Hi @Eyal-Kutz,

You can find my open ticket for this here.

any news concerning this request ? It would allow so much more and be beneficial for the API but also clients consuming it. @travisbell i think that some of us are ready to help on it if required
