Searching movies by director.

Hi, I was wondering if there was an API call that can get a list of movies that were made by specific director.
Thanks in advance, Daniel

Hi dmarti98,
If you know the id (or can use search to search for their name then do a lookup) you can use the
/person/{id}/movie_creditsmethod and look at thecrewfield:Cheers.

Thank you for the quick reply Travis. I have one last question. Is there a place in this site that references the director's or person's id?

Person search would be where most people start. Otherwise, you could start at the movie side, pull the crew credits and lookup the director (or any person) that way.
Cheers.
