posted by thedhavalSTAFFMOD on অগাস্ট 5, 2017 at 5:32 AM
I'm newbie to TheMovieDb site. first of all I want to thank you all guys for doing very nice work.
Is there any API endpoint to get all movie list ?
Right now I can't find any api to get all movie.
I go to this link : https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/movies
on this page first API is to get movie by movie_id
I mean GET /movie/{movie_id}
But I don't know what is the movie id that I want than how can I use this API ?
for example I want to get details for fight club movie but I don't know movie_id for fight club than what ?
hope someone will help :)

To get a list of movies with their IDs, you need to use /search/movie, or /search/tv, or /search/multi first. The response will have an array of Objects matching your search query. Each object will have some basic information and and ID. (See: https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/search/search-movies)

Hi @thedhaval
There's a help document that outlines a typical use case around this that you can read here: https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started/search-and-query-for-details
