[Bug?] Cannot get over page 1000
Inlagt av DinosLSTAFFMOD den 25 april 2016 vid 3:43 AM
I am requesting results for specific genres and the results i get are thousand of pages. When i try to get a page over 1001 i get the message "{"errors":["page must be less than or equal to 1000"]}" I think thats a bug because there is no sense to return 60000 total pages and can only get results of the 1000 first pages.

Hi DinosL,
This is by design. The API is meant to be more of a service used by end-users, it's not very well designed for "mass scraping" which I suspect is what you're doing. What's your use case here?

That is not my intention. I worked around this issue. My intention was to get the biggest sample of movies i could and not to get all the movies.
@Kevin you funny man
