Extended Info for API Search Result

Hi all, so while Trakt.tv is removing all Images from their API by the end of October, i am searching for an alternative to Trakt, and while their API is damn slow and requires a lot of rerequest to get a Shows Episodes etc, now i looked into tMSB Api for Shows and its not a real job, the API is more cut down than any other i have see for TV Shows,
I would like to add tMDB Support for my tTV App but i need some more Infos, basically it starts with external IDs like tVDB while tMDB does not provide any banners i need to search elsewhere ... Also; a Show Status, running, ended?
Is there any extended Info endpoint?
I am using the API for Movies and it works nice, but for TV Shows it looks a bit too small or amm i doing something wrong?

So i found a small workaround, i nearly get all the stuff i need excepting one: the show Status in the Search Query, if i e.g. search for the Show "Arrow", i get the results, but i cannot see which one is still running, i could guess from like last_air_date from the Details Results, but this is also not present in the Search Results, can you help plz?

Hi @atoxx
Glad you figured it out (I presume with the help of
append_to_response).With regards to your last question about status, indeed that is not currently included in the list results. That's not a bad field to include though, so give me some time to think about that one. It's probably a good one to add.

Its been a while now, have you considered adding the "Status Field" to the search API Results?
