As the title said, is there any way that I can get each poster for each season of a tv shows?
For example with chinese drama Like a Flowing River, it has 3 seasons (2018, 2020, 2024) with different posters (You can check it via mydramalist):
- https://mydramalist.com/26287-great-rivers
- https://mydramalist.com/51957-like-a-flowing-river-2
- https://mydramalist.com/687611-like-a-flowing-river-3
When I search with 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?query=Like%20a%20Flowing%20River&include_adult=false&language=en-US&page=1', I see that it only has 1 instance.
When I search with query above:
- with year=[2018,2019,2020,2021], it still display that 1 instance (no change in poster)
- with year=[2022,2023], no results
- with year=2024, it still display that 1 instance (no change in poster)

Hi @ntrnghia, season data is only returned at the TV series query level. It is not available in search.
The main TV series details query returns an array of seasons, which includes their posters.

Thank you, I am able to get each poster of each season through TV series details query now.
So currently, in order to get poster of season I want, I need to search by name, get the id, then get tv series detail to get seasons list and then get poster of season I want.
With that process, I need to send 2 requests.
Feature request: Is it possible that you can make the season data returned also at the search query level?
Thank you

Yes.
We do not have any plans to introduce that kind of data to the search methods.
