Movie Casts & Credits are equal?

Hi there,
I was pointed to "Casts" by a user of mine, and started investigating. When requesting a movie like the one below, I cna surely enough use "Casts" as an append-method. What bothers me is that it seems to be identical with the existing "Credits" method. The values are equal (at least for this movie) - the only thing changing is the name of the Casts property (switching between "credits" and "casts"). Is it the same, or do I have to build in Casts support as well?

Regards, Mike

HI Mike,
Yes, they are the same.
castshasn't been documented for probably a ~year. It still works for legacy clients butcreditsis the up to date and current method name.Reply by LordMike
