How do I find an actor's id?
publicado por oggySTAFFMOD el 10 de agosto de 2015 a las 12:43
Actor's ids are valuable to fetch information about them, as exposed in this great examples page: https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api/discover. However, actor's ids always show up from nowhere, but I'd like to know how these were retrieved in the first place :-) I did see this doc http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/#reference/search/searchperson/get but couldn't use it (I tried to use http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person=%22tom%20hanks%22?api_key=###), I'm missing something for sure.
Thanks for your help!

Hello Oggy,
Think you looking to run a search like this:
http://api.tmdb.org/3/search/person?api_key=KEY&query=tom%20hanks
Hope this helps.
Dale.

From an actor's name, is it then possible to get their filmography?
I know it is possible using the id (something like person/31?api_key=###&append_to_response=credits) but this uses an id...
Thanks in advance.

Hi Oggy,
You can't get the credits just from a name, no. You would get their ID and then make the
/person/{ID}call you mentioned above.Cheers.
