Hi @Afrah_bj, I'm not sure I totally understand what you want to do. But the following should be the relevant information you need.
Genre is specified by a number, that corresponds to a name. This call displays all the corresponding genre number/name pairs.
Once you have the correct genre number, you can then search for movies with the same genre with discover movie, using the filter "&with_genres". For example, to find all comedies: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=xxxxxx&with_genres=35.
If you need the know the genre for a movie you already have, use movie details which will return an array of genres for that movie.
