There aren't really posters for lists right now, just backdrops. I'll probably restore the auto generated posters that used to exist at some point.

I think there is some misunderstanding. When user set one poster from its movie lists image it will set a default to the list itself. That poster path is not getting return from API.

Heh, I'm still not sure which image you're referring to. eyes

Are you taking about the list images, or the images of list items?

For image lists, the behaviour is kind of different for v3 vs. v4. In legacy v3 lists, there used to be a poster image. Last fall though, when I launched the new lists, the ability to set a poster disappeared. While, it's still present in the response there's no way to generate one like there was before. It was replaced with a backdrop path which, if you go to one your lists here on the website, you'll see yo have the ability to choose. Restoring the ability to create a custom image is planned.

If you're talking about the images of list items, if a list item does not have a poster then it will be returned as null. You can insert you own placeholder in that case.

I am talking about this list

https://www.themoviedb.org/list/28753

And if I Choose Image from Logan /Spider-man that Image is treated as a poster for a list(Latest movie to watch) . Currently, I selected Logan's poster as a poster for this list. But when I query for Getcreated list the API returning the null value in poster_path. I mean I don't know it should return a value or not. Even for detail query API for the list not returning value.

Ok, what you're asking about is not the poster, it's the backdrop. Armed with that knowledge, if you read everything in my last reply you'll understand what's happening with regards to the poster.

v3 lists do not return the backdrop but you are able to get the backdrop_path from v4 lists. Check out the docs for this here for more info about those. Adding the backdrop_path to v3 lists is relatively easy though so I could do that as well.

Thanks ...

Sorry to open again I am not able to get post_path

{ "page": 1, "results": [ { "description": "Contains all latest movie to watch", "favorite_count": 0, "id": 28753, "item_count": 2, "iso_639_1": "en", "list_type": "movie", "name": "Latest movie to watch", "poster_path": null } ], "total_pages": 1, "total_results": 1 }

I also tried append_to_response with list detail API. How can I achive it can you please help me?

There are no posters for lists, I mentioned this above. All of the poster_path fields on lists will be null. The 2 main things happening here are:

  1. No posters on lists created after Aug. 2016
  2. Only backdrop's on v4 lists

My plan is to add the backdrop_path field to v3 responses and then think about re-introducing a list poster.
