The Movie Database Support

I just started using this api for a day or two and i am wondering why there is very less info about the movies when i use now_playing like below: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/now_playing?api_key=###

Even if there isn't a way to display more info about the movie with the now_playing tag, can i get full details about a movie by just the title?

The reason i ask is because i have noticed a huge difference in searching a movie by title and by imdb title. Ex: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=Mad+Max%3A+Fury+Road&year=2015

vs

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/tt1392190?api_key=###

The latter link gives full details like budget, overview, runtime, revenue etc.

So is there i can get a result like the latter by just the movie name? Even if the now playing gives the imdb_id it would be ok.

Some help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi rapidclock,

We do not provide full details on any of our "media list" pages. You will have to and query the extra info you are interested in.

We did however, just add 3 new fields to the standard media responses yesterday. genre_ids, overview and original_language are all present now.

Cheers.
