Is it possible to expand release_date informaion in the /movie/{movie_id}/ API to include all the info we get from /movie/{movie_id}/release_dates API?

Hi @stermi You can use the
append_to_responsemethod for this. You can read about how this works here.Reply by stermi

HI @travisbell I'm already using it. When you append releases to the movie discover API it will give you back a stripped version of full release without (for example) the type information (premier, teathrical, ect)

Ah, there is no plan to add something like append_to_response to any of the list methods at this time. V4 is likely to include methods for making customised responses but work on that isn't really slated until next year.

@travisbell I would like to avoid to make an addictional API call for each movie to retrieve that information (because of the API rate limitation) but I could implement a queue for doing that if that's the case
