IMDB id with `search/movie` endpoint?

Is it possible to get the IMDB id from results returned from the search/movie endpoint?

Hi @amilajack No, this is not possible. The only way to get the IMDb ID is to make a request to the movie details method.

Is which endpoint are you referring to? Also what are all the endpoints that return imdb id's?

Movies and TV shows behave slightly different for external IDs. Since movies only support a single external ID, the IMDB ID is part of the primary movie response. For TV shows, it's part of the external IDs method.
