You must make this selection on your side.
It is not possible to limit the number of items in any API Request response.

The number/quantity of Items per Page and the number/quantity of Pages
cannot be changed, configured, specified, restricted, or anything like that.
There will always be up to 20 items per page.
And a maximum of 500 pages.
Therefore, at most 10,000 items.

Of course, depending on the parameters used in your API Request
this number/quantity can be much smaller.
Eventually zero.

In a Trending API Request, the quantities are greater.
A maximum of 1,000 pages
Therefore a maximum of 20,000 items

As @ticao2 mentioned, the page size on TMDB is fixed. Since the returned object (results) is an array, it is easy enough for you to to simply limit the items you want to display client side.

Hi, I'm a beginner and I had the same question and unfortunately, I couldn't find the answer. But I thought a little more and based on Travi's answer (about being an array) I managed to do it in a very simple way, here's an example code:

function getMovies(url) {
  fetch(url)
    .then(res => res.json())
    .then(data => {
      showMovies(data.results.slice(0, 10))
    })
}

I accept tips on how to improve this code snippet and hope it helps others.
