The Movie Database atbalsts
Atbalsts → API atbalsts
Is there anyway for the search requests in the API to return who stars in a particular movie or tv show?

I'm thinking of making a program that searches for movies and tv shows using the search/multi API request. But the results I get don't give me the "cast" info. Which is really bad because that stuff is really important. Is there anyway to incorporate into the API the cast? The way I have it now is that I then run a secondary request for each result to test it out, which I'm not in favor of obviously because it makes things really slow.

Hi QuantumHoneybees,
At this time there is no way to get the extra fields you're looking. You will have to continue to make the second query.
I would encourage you to cache some of the data locally so that you don't have to make so many HTTP requests.

Darn :/
Any plans to add this in the future?
