Hello,
I couldn't find any information on this to see if someone has previously asked, but is there any way we can include the IMDBId in the result for /search/movie?
Thanks, Jamie.

Hi Jamie,
Unfortunately, no. This is not currently supported.

Thanks for the reply Travis.
Is this something that will be added in the future? My reason for this request, is that when using the search API I format the results into a list and include the imdb link with TheMovieDB link, to do this i am having to call
/search/movieand then/movie/{movie_id}to get the imdb, this means for each item returned in/search/moviethere will always be another API call, more traffic for you and slower searching for my users :(Reply by Travis Bell

Hi Jamie,
No plans right now, no. One of the things that might get introduced in v4 is the ability to build custom responses. It should be noted however that work on v4 is low-ish priority but the wheels are starting to turn about what could be done in the new version.
