Understanding order and cast_id return parameters
posted by sparriganSTAFFMOD on novembris 1, 2015 at 2:12 PM
Hi,
Apologies that my question is very basic, but I'm essentially trying to understand what the return parameters 'cast_id' and 'order' represent in a call for movie credits. I'm really after an ordering that represents how 'leading' the role of the actor/actress was in a movie. Is this what the 'order' parameter is intended to represent?
Also, is there somewhere in the documentation where return parameters are described? I was unable to find anything in this case, but really feel like I should have RTFM'd - and would like to do so in the future :)
Many thanks for your time,
Nic

Hi sparrigan,
Yes. Cast id is only really useful if you're trying to track items locally, within your own db. Order is all you need to worry about for ordering cast items.
Other than the mock responses on Apiary, no, not really.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
