I check the documentation and I feel confused on how to compose the api . Exemple : https: // api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=" mynumber" So if I want to get data from this page https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/63-twelve-monkeys how should I compose my link. To get the rating / overview / poster or backdrop. tnanks sorry for this beginner question

Hi MaxArch,
Yes, that's a movie search. It is not possible to limit the results server side but this is very easy to do client side so it shouldn't be a concern (results is just an array).
To get the full movie details of a movie like in your example, you would take the ID of Twelve Monkeys which is 63 and pass it to the /movie/{id} method. An example (with cast and crew) would be:
Hope that helps.

Popularity is a float value that represents how popular a movie is on TMDb. The higher the number the more popular. It's range is essentially 0.0 to infinity (there's no upper limit). You can see how that relates relative to the most popular items by calling
/movie/popular
or using /discover/movie`.We do not have any IMDB data other than the id.
Cheers.

Thanks for the precision. I understand better now. I still have questions for backdrop_path and poster_path . For this path will it be possible to get another image ? If I go to the original page https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/63-twelve-monkeys, I can see a lot of different posters. Example if I want to get random posters each time it load is there a trick . Example by changing the 6 to 7 "6"Sj9wDu3YugthXsU0Vry5XFAZGg.jpg. Or what will be the way. Thanks again.
