Is it possible to include imdbId, runtime and tagLine (or at least just imdbId) to the movie lists calls (discover, upcoming, popular, etc)?

Hi,
Im creating a website for movies and i am using the api calls: discover, upcoming etc; to display list of movies. However in my movie list page I also display imdb rating, movie runtime and tagline. So as of now in order to do this I have to call the api to get movie details for each one of the movies, making it 21 calls instead of just one, for just 3 simple fields.
The main problem beside reducing the number of calls for performance is the api limitation of 40 calls every 10 secs per IP. Im caching the calls and everything, but would be really useful to have those 3 extra params in the movie results when listing movies.
Thanks

Hi Daniel,
Pretty much the same answer as your other post, we do not have any plans on expanding the fields at this time. I would suggest caching the data locally.
Cheers.
