Hi @gustavopeq, no, we cannot make a change like this.

Every media object returned across all of the many different endpoints are the same. Whether it's search, lists, popular, or trending, everything is consistent per media type.

You'll have to check which media type it is you're dealing with and template out accordingly. Note the media_type field that is returned so you can make that decision.

Cheers.

Understood... So when using this Multi endpoint, if I need to display the Person's profile picture, it's expected that I do an extra API call by the Person ID, to be able to get the profile_path right? Thanks @travisbell

No. The profile_path field is returned as part of the object. Here's the response for a search of "Brad Pitt", notice the first response has a profile_path field

To name but a few: David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino, the Coen brothers, Terrence Malick, James Gray and soon Damien Chazelle. This documentary dives into the brain of a complex, brilliant and endearing personality, far from the cliché of a world-famous movie icon to discover the hidden side of the most handsome man in the world.",

Ohhh, so it does comes with the profile_path when the media_type is "person" I was using "Response 200 body" in https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-multi , and it doesn't list the profile_path there, so I thought it didn't exist at all. That makes more sense... Thanks a lot @travisbell
