Hi GY22,

It sounds like these results are coming from either search/discover/a featured list. You'll want to pull down /genre/movie/list and then use it as a reference. You only need to call that once and you can cache it to always have the id/name map.

Cheers.

Sorry for hijacking this topic but I have a little problem. I use /genre/movie/list to get the genres. I get a list with all the ID's, but every name = null. Anyone knows what the problem is?

Hi gekkejongen,

I don't seem to be seeing this. What's the exact request you're making?

{
  "genres": [
    {
      "id": 28,
      "name": "Action"
    },
    {
      "id": 12,
      "name": "Adventure"
    },
    {
      "id": 16,
      "name": "Animation"
    },
    {
      "id": 35,
      "name": "Comedy"
    },
    {
      "id": 80,
      "name": "Crime"
    },
    {
      "id": 99,
      "name": "Documentary"
    },
    {

hi, i request to genre/movie/list with parameters api_key & language.

This is what i get as response:

{"genres":[{"id":28,"name":null},{"id":12,"name":null},{"id":16,"name":null},{"id":35,"name":null},{"id":80,"name":null},{"id":99,"name":null},{"id":18,"name":null},{"id":10751,"name":null},{"id":14,"name":null},{"id":10769,"name":null},{"id":36,"name":null},{"id":27,"name":null},{"id":10402,"name":null},{"id":9648,"name":null},{"id":10749,"name":null},{"id":878,"name":null},{"id":10770,"name":null},{"id":53,"name":null},{"id":10752,"name":null},{"id":37,"name":null}]}

What language are you requesting?

en-US

Hi gekkejongen,

That is not a valid language on TMDb. Try using just 'en'.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list?api_key=###&language=en

Cheers.

Hi I have the following problem:

• Using /3/genre/list?api_key=### it works OK
• Using /3/genre/list?api_key=###&language=en returns the ids but all the names null.
• Using /3/genre/list?api_key=###&language=es returns the ids but all the names null.

I need the genres in Spanish (es)!

Yes, there was a bug that slipped through in yesterday's deploy. In about ~4 hours when the cached pages are purged from the cache, the names will display properly.
