Get random result
geplaas deur andreatersigniSTAFFMOD op 12 Maart 2016 om 6:46 NM
Is there a simple way to select all data from tmdb and get random result? I figured how to get JSON data from the API and i'm working on putting the data in the html but i'm not an expert and i'd like ideas to do that. I'm trying to build a web app and i'm studying all day a way to do this, please help!

Hi there,
There isn't really with a built in TMDb way but what I have told people in the past is to use the movie latest method and then what you can do is randomize a number from 1 to the latest ID you get back. This will get you a random I'd to pull the info for.
It should be noted that there are lots of deleted movies and those will return a 404, so then you can just randomize another number and try again.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for replying. I already read something similar in the forum but i can't figure out a practical way to do that. I'm a newbie and i don't expect anyone to write code for me but if someone can get a little bit more specific it would be very helpful.
