Hi, So i was playing with TMDB for academic purpose, i was wondering how to get the image from poster_path, this is just a forward slash with image name, but what is the full path to download image or get it at run time?
Thanks

Hi @superxaifi you can read about how to build image URLs by reading through the images documentation.

Hi Travis, Thanks a lot for your help. I am sorry for bothering you again but i am having a little bit more confusion that after getting the list of now playing movies there is an id, and i don't know which id is that, as well I want IMDB id so that when clicked on that movie poster the IMDB id will then pass to GetDetails method. Can you help me in this regard. Waiting for your kind reply
Thanks

Hi there,
When you iterate through the
results
array, each item will have anid
field. With that id, you can then query the get info method to get the IMDb ID. Using Jack Reacher as an example, that looks like this:This will return a JSON object, and one of the fields is the
imdb_id
field.Reply by superxaifi

Hi, i was trying to get the images of a movie using its id, but why all the poster paths and backdrop paths are null. Aren't they updated yet by TMDB?
Thanks

If you are including a
language
param, you'll likely want to switch to use theinclude_image_language
param instead for images so that you can include a fallback. More about this is discussed here.
